Calgary Flames vs. New York Rangers Analysis
The Calgary Flames stats this season look pretty good, but they are just a team that hasn’t been consistent enough on both ends of the ice. Calgary is scoring 3.10 goals per game this season, and they are allowing right around three goals per game.
The New York Rangers are scoring 3.16 goals per game this season, and they are holding opponents to less than 2.6 goals per game. New York has the ability to control the puck on both ends of the ice, and that is going to be a big key in this game.
You also want to look at the NHL player stats for each team in this game, and you are going to see some big names. Elias Lindholm has been the best offensive player for the Flames this season, as he leads the team with 45 points.
Artemi Panarin leads the Rangers with 50 points on the year, and he has dished out 38 assists. The Rangers can be dangerous on the power play, but they need to find a way to give Panarin more help on offense.
Calgary will be trying to speed up the tempo on Monday night, but that’s not going to be easy to do in New York. The Rangers have a style of play that works well for them, and they will be looking to utilize that strategy in this one.
The NHL injury report looks pretty clear for both teams, and that should lead to a great battle on the ice. There could be a bit of rust for each team, but they should be able to shake that off.
