Flyers, Rangers Will Meet Again In Rookie Series

Published

on

The Flyers and Rangers will renew their rookie series at PPL Center in Allentown on Sept. 15 and 16.



In last year’s inaugural games — the first time Flyers coach John Tortorella was behind the bench — the Flyers’ Tyson Foerster scored an overtime goal in the opening game and Sam Ersson made 36 of 37 saves. Noah Cates scored a shorthanded goalie and Olle Lycksell scored a goal in each game.

The Flyers swept the series with 2-1 (OT) and 5-1 victories.

The PPL Center is the home of the Phantoms, one of the Flyers’ minor league affiliates.

“The two-game Rookie Series vs. the New York Rangers is such a marquee event to kick off a new season of hockey for both the Flyers and Phantoms,” Flyers general manager Daniel Briere said in a statement.

“It’s a great weekend in Allentown and a wonderful opportunity for our fans to see the up-and-coming talent.”

Tickets for the games go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at PPLCenter.com. The opening game on Sept. 15 is at 7:05 p.m. and the Saturday, Sept. 16 game is at 5:05 p.m.
