Tonight, the Philadelphia Flyers will play at Madison Square Garden for the first time since the Rangers eliminated them in the opening round of last year’s playoffs. It promises to be an engaging Rivalry Night affair, though the Flyers will head into it minus the services of captain Claude Giroux (out with a reported ankle injury).
