You could smell this one coming. The New York Rangers started this four game road trip with an encouraging game in Edmonton that they lost in overtime. Bad officiating helped them lose the second game in Vancouver, but they were never really in it. Finally, it was time for a stinker.
Matthew Tkachuk was a dominant player for Calgary and had a piece of all five Flames goals. He is a rare talent and the kind of player that never ends up in a Ranger uniform. Whether it was brilliant passes or outstanding shots, he was better than any other player on the ice.
