Steve Mason stopped 34 Rangers shots, including 16 in the third period for the win. He was spectacular at times.

Next game:
Matt Read's net crashing 6th goal gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead against the Rangers. He would also add 3 hits and a blocked shot.
Michael Del Zotto scored his 4th GWG of the season, this time short-handed, 1:19 into the third period and the Flyers held off the Rangers in the last game before the trading deadline (Monday 3pm EST).
Matt Read scored half-way thru the first to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead, then after two Rangers goals, Michael Raffl scored with 5 and minutes to go in the second to send the game tied at 2 into the third.
At the end of the third period Claude Giroux picked up a high sticking penalty. The Rangers had started the 3rd with 1:57 of power play time, Del Zotto would score with 26 seconds left on the man advantage. Wayne Simmonds added an empty net goal with less than a second to go.
Steve Mason played awesome, and was especially present during a flurry of activity late in the third that saw the Rangers get 3-4 chances during the same play.
Nicklas Grossman left the game after taking a puck to the back of the head when he layed out to block a shot. Vinny Lecavalier suited up after several scratches and looked very effective.
