Rangers have the perfect chance to embarrass the Flyers even more

Scott Rogust of Blue Line Station argues that the New York Rangers have an opportunity to deepen the Philadelphia Flyers' early-season struggles when the division rivals meet on Thursday night. Despite losing goaltender Igor Shesterkin to a season-ending knee injury, the Rangers entered Wednesday in third place in the Metropolitan Division with an 8-7-1 record following a victory over the St. Louis Blues.

The article notes that the Flyers are tied for last place in the division after an 0-6-3 start to the campaign. Rogust highlights special teams as a significant mismatch, pointing to New York's league-leading 90.4 percent penalty kill against Philadelphia's struggling power play, which ranks sixth-worst in the NHL at 16.7 percent.
