Matchup Breakdown
Rangers outlook: You need cleaner exits and fewer rush chances against. Igor Shesterkin keeps them in games. Othmann adds pace. If the top unit draws calls, the PP is the lever.
Flames outlook: Five-on-five looks fine in stretches. Penalties flip scripts. Second periods have spiraled. They must manage the neutral zone and stay out of the box.
Key battle: Rangers power play vs Flames penalty kill. Calgary has allowed a pile of recent PPGs. New York needs touches for Panarin and Zibanejad in the bumper and flank. For fundamentals on market angles, hit the Bettors Handbook
