On September 14th, the New York Rangers rookie squad dropped their second straight game to the Philadelphia Flyers prospects this past Sunday, losing by a score of four to one. This sweep in the rookie series marks a tough weekend for the young Rangers.

Liam Greentree did manage to score his first goal in a Rangers uniform, a power play marker that tied the game up at one point. Greentree, who was a key acquisition for the Rangers in a trade back in February, also picked up an assist on Saturday.

He showed some good physicality throughout the weekend, which is a positive sign for his development. Some other notable prospects like Alberts Smits and Cole Beaudoin sat out Sunday's game. The Rangers goalie, Danai Shaiikov, put in a solid effort despite the loss. He made some key saves, especially early on, when the Flyers were putting on the pressure. He managed to keep the game close for most of the contest before the Flyers sealed it with two empty net goals in the final minutes. The Flyers took the lead late in the first period, and then again with just five seconds left in the second period, which was a real momentum killer for the Rangers. Greentree's goal had tied things up earlier in the second, coming off a nice play and a quick pass. Despite the losses, seeing Greentree find the back of the net, and Shaiikov make some strong saves, offers a glimmer of hope for the future of the Rangers prospect pool. The team will look to regroup and build from these experiences.
