New York Rangers Score 10th Straight Victory to Tie Franchise Record
by privatebet.com - 2024/02/25
The New York Rangers have been on fire in the past few weeks, and their latest victory was the most epic one yet. They defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 on Saturday night to tie a franchise record with their 10th straight victory. Alexis Lafrenière gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead, but things became tense after Tyson Foerster scored a goal for the Flyers. It was also a big night for the Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin, who stopped 39 shots to help his side achieve their 2-1 victory. His track record is pretty impressive, given the fact that Samuel Ersson finished with just 22 saves for the Flyers. It was also a big night for Matt Rempe, who netted his first career goal to lead the Rangers to their latest victory, and the coach Peter Laviolette praised his performance. “He placed a heck of a game. Had a great fight. Had big hits. Put the puck behind the defense. He’s been great since he’s been here. You can tell the players in the locker room love having him here. He loves to hit and be physical,” said Laviolette post-game. The Rangers previously won 10 games in a row during the 1972-73 and 1939-40 seasons, and they’ll get the chance to break the record against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
