Hot off a huge comeback against Oilers, the Rangers headed next door to Calgary to take on the Flames. They almost pulled off another, but ultimately fell short in OT.
Unfortunately for the Rangers, another subpar start left them trailing by multiple goals. In the first minute. After an offensive zone turnover by the Rangers, Mikael Backlund sprung Andrew Mangiapane. Mangiapane fought off K’Andre Miller as he drove to the net before flipping the puck over a diving Jaroslav Halak.
The Rangers won the ensuing faceoff cleanly, but Adam Fox made a rare poor pass that Jonathan Huberdeau picked off.
