Overview
- The Flyers were booed after a 6-3 home loss to the Rangers, extending their losing streak to six with goals against rising to 5.17 per game over that span.
- Goaltending and special teams faltered again as Aleksei Kolosov allowed three goals on three shots, Sam Ersson relieved, the power play fell to last around 15%, and the penalty kill slumped to 61.9% during the skid.
- Injuries stacked up for Philadelphia with Dan Vladař day-to-day, Rasmus Ristolainen and Bobby Brink on injured reserve, and Rodrigo Ābols leaving Saturday’s game with a lower-body injury.
- General manager Chris Drury issued a public letter committing the Rangers to a roster retool as New York continues to deal with injuries to Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin; reports suggest Artemi Panarin’s future is uncertain.
- Boston swept a five-game homestand and holds a wild-card spot, dealt Jeffrey Viel to Anaheim for a 2026 fourth-round pick, and is being linked in reports to a potential move for Calgary defenseman Rasmus Andersson.
