Rangers’ road streak snapped

PHILADELPHIA – Claude Giroux led the Flyers Sunday night with two goals in a 5-2 win over the New York Rangers.

“Our top boys were top performers tonight,” Flyers coach Alain Vigneault said. “They showed up. They played big. They made some plays. They capitalized on a couple of the other team’s mistakes.”

The loss ended a nine-game road win streak for New York.

“This whole month we’ve been playing really good hockey, really been stepping up, and we’ve just got to make sure this game doesn’t ruin what we’ve built up this month,” the Rangers’ Mika Zibanejad said. “It’s one game.”

“It’s tough,” Zibanejad said. “I don’t know how to put it into words really. Obviously a key player, key guy in the locker room and on the ice, obviously for our line and the rest of the team. It just [stinks].”

Carter Hart made 26 saves for the win.

Jesper Fast and Brent Howden scored for the Rangers.

Kevin Hayes, Sean Couturier and James Van Riemsdyk  also scored for the Flyers.

“We played our game and we trust our game,” Giroux said.

Alexandar Georgiev made 35 saves in the loss.

“It felt like we just were running on empty today. … We’re not looking for excuses obviously here, but it felt like maybe it was a little hard to play back-to-back against a really good team like that,” Georgiev said. “The second period was the turning point for us.”
