What happened: The Boston Bruins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 5-1 to secure a home victory, while a Providence goaltender scored a goal in AHL action. In New York, the Rangers lost Shesterkin for the remainder of the season to a right knee injury.

Why it matters: Boston capitalized on home ice to improve its early-season standing. New York faces a massive void in net following the devastating injury to its franchise goaltender, forcing Dylan Garand to assume starting duties.

What to watch: The Rangers must navigate the rest of their schedule with a depleted depth chart, while the Bruins look to build on their recent winning momentum.
