Rangers Make Final Regular-Season Visit to Saddledome vs. Flames

This final Saddledome appearance matters because it matches Calgary’s elite power play against New York’s top-ranked penalty kill.

Overview

  • The game is set for Wednesday with broadcast on Amazon Prime’s Wednesday Night Hockey at 6:30 p.m. Alberta Time and a 7:30 p.m. ET puck drop.
  • Joonas Korpisalo is projected to start for the Rangers in his second game back from a month-long foot infection and Devin Cooley is slated to start for the Flames.
  • New York recalled former Flame Glenn Gawdin and will likely use him on the fourth line while Calgary has reinstated Brennan Othmann after a six-game absence.
  • A Flames win would push Calgary to .500 for the first time this season as the teams enter the game at 8-9-1 (Calgary) and 10-8-1 (New York).
  • Special teams are the key matchup because the Rangers lead the league in penalty kill at roughly 89.7 percent and the Flames rank among the NHL’s best power plays at about 28.6 percent.
