The Rangers are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Flyers on February 14th. Currently, the Flyers are undergoing COVID testing and their game tonight is likely to be postponed.

Rangers schedule change coming?

Depending on the results of testing, the Flyers and Capitals may be postponed. That will likely impact Sunday’s contest against Philadelphia.

The Blueshirts already are dealing with schedule changes due to COVID. A game against the Devils was moved and more are likely to come.

UPDATE: FLYERS AND CAPS POSTPONED

Chris Kreider was visibly agitated after last night’s game when someone asked about Mika Zibanejad’s lack of production. “He’s doing an unbelievable job defensively,” Kreider shot back. “He’s eating up the top players in the league and he’s not exactly getting the O-zone starts because he’s getting those tough matchups.”

Kreider concluded by saying, “I think he’s doing a bang up job and he’s doing everything to help our team win.” When he finished answering the question, you can see Kreider just looking in the sky agitated and shaking his head.
