CALGARY — Defenceman Erik Gustafsson scored once and added an assist on Tuesday as the New York Rangers scored three times in the second period en route to a 3-1 NHL victory over the slumping Calgary Flames.
Chris Kreider, with his team-leading fifth goal, and Alexis Lafreniere also scored for New York . Filip Chytil chipped in with a pair of assists.
After giving up a goal on the second shot of the game, New York goaltender Igor Shesterkin shut the door the rest of the way. He finished the night with 23 stops to improve to 3-2-0.Down 1-0 entering the second period, the Rangers surged in front with three unanswered goals, propelled by a lethal power play.
Seven minutes later, the visitors made it 2-for-2 with the extra man. Again on a sequence that began with a point shot, this time it was Artemi Panarin who sent a shot just wide of the net where Kreider, camped at the side of the crease, redirected the puck over Markstrom's shoulder. Calgary mounted a push halfway through the third period, but the Flames could not solve Shesterkin. Shortly after he stuck out a pad to deny a dangerous shot from Nikita Zadorov, and then he slid across the crease to deny Jonathan Huberdeau on a one-timer.
