The Flyers defeated the Rangers 2-1 in a shootout to secure the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference on Sunday afternoon. "Hopefully we can do something with our lifeline here and use the excitement and euphoria from this win and from our last little stretch of games here to propel us and do good things here in the playoffs," defenseman Chris Pronger said. The Flyers earned the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and will play New Jersey. With the loss, the Rangers were eliminated from the playoff picture.
