NEW DELHI: The New York Rangers claimed a 3-1 victory over the slumping Calgary Flames on Tuesday, with Erik Gustafsson, Alexis Lafreniere, and Chris Kreider each scoring a goal. Goalie Igor Shesterkin played a pivotal role in the win, making 24 saves after surrendering an early goal.
The Flames opened the scoring just over a minute into the game with Blake Coleman netting a goal. However, the Rangers turned the tide with a trio of second-period goals. Alexis Lafreniere's power-play goal at 7:38 of the second period tied the game. Lafreniere deflected Gustafsson's point shot for his third goal of the season.
