Scoring Chances for Game 12 vs. Philadelphia

In a game marred by defensive miscues and a goal from a sharp angle, the final totals for the game between the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers ended with the Rangers winning the scoring chance battle 14-13, and 10-7 at even strength. This was mostly caused by the 5-3 win in the 3rd period when the game was by then already out of hand. On a positive note, the first period of this game was the first ES shutout of a team by the Rangers, as all 3 chances for the Flyers came with the man advantage. Of course, the downside is the four goals that came on a mere 13 chances.

Two notes, obviously Zherdev's goal from the corner did not count as a chance.  Also, I initially did not credit Pronger's goal, but eventually felt there was enough puck movement and screens that it was a sufficiently difficult task for Henrik to actually stop the shot.
