Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider each added one goal for the Rangers.

Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin made 26 saves.

The Rangers played without defenseman K'Andre Miller, who was suspended three games by the league for spitting on the Los Angeles Kings' Drew Doughty on Sunday.

New York acquired Patrick Kane from the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday and he'll likely make his debut Thursday at home against the Ottawa Senators.

Owen Tippett and Scott Laughton scored one goal apiece for the slumping Flyers, who have dropped four in a row.

Flyers goaltender Carter Hart stopped 22 shots.

Travis Konecny, the Flyers' leading scorer, remains out with an upper-body injury. The Flyers have one win in 10 games without Konecny this season.

New York's Alexis Lafreniere ripped a slap shot at 5:39 of the third period, but Hart cut off the angle to make the save.
