Sean Avery tallied a pair of power-play goals as the Rangers took the back end of a home-and-home set with the Flyers, 4-1, at Madison Square Garden.
Nik Antropov and Freddie Sjostrom also scored for New York, which crept up into a three-way tie for the sixth playoff seed in the Eastern Conference with the victory.
Henrik Lundqvist made 24 saves for the win, the Rangers' third consecutive positive decision on home ice.
Simon Gagne got the lone score for the Flyers, who had won 4-2 in Philly yesterday afternoon. Antero Niittymaki was victimized for all four goals on 35 shots.
The Flyers spent nearly 20 minutes of the contest on the penalty kill, including a seven-minute stretch to start the third period which included a major and game misconduct for high-sticking by Braydon Coburn.
Up next for the Flyers is a nearly-impossible task in the second of four straight on the road: the Red Wings in Detroit.
