Tarasenko scores in OT to give Rangers win over Flyers

New York Rangers won 3-2 against the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night. Vladimir Tarasenko was crucial for the win as he scored the winner 2:32 into overtime, and had assists on goals by Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider.

The Rangers won their final game before Patrick Kane, acquired Tuesday in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks, makes his debut for the team on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.

Rangers fans took over the lower bowl of the Wells Fargo Center and had a healthy and vocal presence overall inside the arena. Flyers fans were thwarted in their attempt to drown out the “Let’s Go Rangers!” chants that echoed throughout the arena and Rangers fans erupted when Kreider tied the score with 9:27 left in the game.
