New York Rangers vs Calgary Flames: More defensive breakdowns in a 4-3 loss

Not only did the Calgary Flames get two breakaway goals, one of them was when the New York Rangers had a two man advantage. The good news is the power play scored twice to get the team right back into the game.

The mistakes the Rangers made were very costly. The first three goals were the result of turnovers and the defense lost their assignments on the fourth and winning goal. The Blueshirts never could get back into the game in the scoreless third penalty as they took three needless penalties.

It was a frustrating loss to a slumping Flames team made worse by the fact that Calgary was very effective at shutting down the Panarin and Zibanejad lines.
