Philadelphia Flyers v New York Islanders
Which player has played for both the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers?

The NHL Immaculate Grid has been a fun and challenging game for hockey fans to test their knowledge. One grid on Aug. 10 requires players to name a player who has played for both the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers.

In history, many NHL players have played for both franchises, although some are way more notable than others. The top pick is Eric Lindros, who started his career with the Flyers and spent eight years there before playing the next three years with the Rangers.

Lindros was drafted first overall in the 1991 NHL Draft by the Quebec Nordiques but he refused to play there and was then dealt to Philadelphia. After playing for the Flyers from 1992 to 2000, he was dealt to the Rangers in 2001 and ended up playing three seasons for the club.

However, Lindros' NHL career was cut short due to injuries as he only played in 760 regular-season games.
