Flyers face the Rangers at Madison Square Garden, and that’s good news for Philadelphia

The Flyers apparently like the bright lights of Madison Square Garden.

They will aim for their sixth straight win at the World’s Most Famous Arena on Wednesday when they face the New York Rangers in a nationally televised 7:30 p.m. matchup.

Overall, the Flyers, who scored a 5-4 overtime win Monday over the host Rangers, are 11-2-1 against the Blueshirts over the past three-plus seasons, including a 2-0-1 mark this season. (The loss was a 3-2 shootout at the Wells Fargo Center.).

Here are their five straight wins in Midtown Manhattan: 5-4 (overtime); 5-3; 3-2 (shootout); 1-0; and 7-4.

They haven’t lost at the Garden since a 5-1 defeat on Jan. 16, 2018. In that game, the Flyers took a 1-0 lead on a goal scored by Jordan Weal (remember him?). Radko Gudas and Wayne Simmonds had assists.

New York then scored five straight goals — two by Rick Nash — against Brian Elliott, who was relieved by Michal Neuvirth over the final 20 minutes.

Elliott will start Wednesday, and Carter Hart will get the call Thursday against the Isles.

Hart played better than his deceiving stat line in Monday’s win.

Last year, the Flyers were 3-0 against the Rangers, only the second time in franchise history they had a perfect points percentage in a season against New York, joining the 1984-85 team that went 7-0 in the season series.

Wednesday is Game 2 of a stretch in which the Flyers play eight straight games against the three New York metro teams — four against the Rangers, three against the Islanders and one against the Devils.

The Flyers (14-9-3) are 6-0-1 against those teams this season.

Claude Giroux needs two goals to pass Simon Gagne for ninth on the Flyers’ all-time list, and two power-play tallies to pass Eric Lindros for eighth in franchise history.

Goalie Alexander Georgiev will get the call Wednesday for the Rangers. He has been pulled in each of his last two starts, a 5-1 loss to the Penguins, and a 4-0 defeat to the Bruins.

Igor Shesterkin, the Rangers’ No. 1 goalie, has been sidelined by a groin strain.
