Jaromir Jagr put the Rangers up early with a power play goal late in the 1st period. From there, the Flyers picked it up significantly , but try as they might, they couldn't get one past Lundquist. It stayed 1-0 until there were 3 minutes to play in the 3rd period. There, Brendan Shanahan added another Rangers power play goal and it was 2-0 Rangers. The Flyers kept playing hard, but Lundquist was too much on this night and NY held on to win 2-0.

Still, the Flyers are going to have to get out of this funk they're in, if they want to stay in first.
