The Flyers showed more fight with multiple third-period rallies to earn a point, but lost in overtime to the Rangers on Tuesday night.

The Flyers late push came up short, as they fell to the Rangers, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers host the annual Black Friday game and get a test against the Metropolitan Division leading New York Rangers.

The Flyers search for a President of Hockey Operations now has some candidates reportedly entering the interview process, and a report of a potential "conflict of interest" within the search.

Now with nine games to go, the countdown is on until the end of the season. The Flyers sit 11 points out of the final playoff spot. Their tragic number is down to seven. It’s not a matter of if, it’s when. Friday’s game was just another example of all of the problems this team had over the course of this grueling schedule and this prolonged stretch of games without stringing together wins.

The Rangers scored two goals in the first period, then added two more in the third to claim a 4-1 result from the Flyers on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

From James van Riemsdyk’s well-timed goals to Brian Elliott’s sharp performance, the Flyers got back in the win column, holding off the Rangers in the late stages of the third to secure the result.
