The New York Rangers recently suffered a 3-2 road loss to the Calgary Flames, with Alexis Lafreniere and Will Cuylle scoring goals 16 seconds apart in the second period. Despite being outshot 49-29 and going 0-1 on the power play, goaltender Igor Shesterkin made 46 saves. Shesterkin has allowed three or more goals in four of his last five starts.

Artemi Panarin leads the team in goals and points but has not scored in the last five games. Lafreniere has been on a scoring streak, netting three goals in the last five games.
