Stats:
Adam Rotter:
- This was a nice win for the Rangers even though I don’t think they were as good as they were on Monday against the Oilers.
- Calgary had the puck more and had more shots than I would have liked, but the Rangers always kind of felt in control of the game. You’d probably like the Rangers to have controlled a bit more of the play and create more offense, but they did what they needed to win this game.
- Jonas Korpisalo was very good again, especially making a spectacular save early in the first period. He’s been solid and provided what the Rangers expected of him this season when he was acquired to be Igor Shesterkin’s backup.
- I think Mika Zibanejad has been fine so far this season but the Rangers need him scoring more. He got a nice bounce banking the first goal off the Calgary goal but it’s the second goal that matters since that was on the PP and with the shot that made Zibanejad such a threat on the PP. Scoring is likely going to be an issue all season and hopefully this is the start of a streak for Zibanejad and I think scoring on the PP had to feel good for that unit.
- Somehow the Rangers need to get Jaro Chmelar more ice time. He’s noticeable every time he’s on the ice.
- Part of getting Chmelar more ice time would be on a more consistent fourth line and that saw Glen Gawdin called up from Hartford. The search to replace Joe Veleno continues with the Will Cuylle experiment not lasting very long and Luke Glendening not staking his place in the lineup. Cole Beaudoin has been injured in Hartford since about the time he got sent down, but if he was healthy he’d probably already be back.
- They look to go 3-1 on the trip when they see the Canucks on Friday.
