The Rangers (10-8-1, 21 points) carry a four-point edge over the Flames (8-9-1, 17) into Wednesday’s game at the Saddledome. Calgary is 2-3 in its last five and arrives off a 4-3 win over Philadelphia; New York is 3-2 and comes off a 3-1 loss at Edmonton. The central matchup is Calgary’s Joel Farabee, with 16 points in 15 games, against Rangers co-leaders Alexis Lafrenière and Adam Fox, each with 17 points in 15 games. New York’s .903 team save percentage tops Calgary’s .886, giving the Flames’ attack a clear test: create enough chances to overcome the Rangers’ defensive edge.
