In an exciting overtime, Adam Fox netted a goal that crowned the New York Rangers with a 6-5 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. This victory ensured the Rangers were the first team in the NHL to secure a spot in the playoffs this season.

The Flyers displayed resilience, overcoming a 3-2 shortfall early in the last period to level the score twice. The game was pushed into overtime thanks to Tyson Foerster's goal at 16:29.

Fox clinched the game with a wrist shot from the slot, marking his 15th goal of the year. Notably, he has scored points in eight consecutive games.

Artemi Panarin achieved a milestone by registering his 100th season point with an assist on a goal by Mika Zibanejad.

With nine games left to play, the Flyers are set to meet the Rangers once more on April 11.
