THE GOOD
• LW Taylor Leier, reassigned to the AHL last week but in the Flyers’ lineup Sunday and Monday, scored for the second game in a row. He's known for being a strong two-way player, but showed speed and skill scoring his wraparound goal that cut into a 3-0 Rangers’ lead. The night before he scored a third-period shorthanded goal. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: This kid looks like a player.
• D Shayne Gostisbehere needs work on his all-around game, but he showcased his offensive talents firing a hard shot at the net off a Brayden Schenn face-off win that deflected in 11:30 into third period to get the Flyers to within two goals at 5-3. Gostisbehere also assisted on Leier's goal for a two-point night.
• LW Zac Rinaldo and RW Jason Akeson made a nice play teaming up to score the Flyers' second goal. Rinaldo made a cross-ice pass to Akeson, who ripped a shot past Rangers G Henrik Lundqvist. Rinaldo has a spot on the team, but Akeson is battling to make the team and this goal helps his cause because what he brings most is offense.
