Game #20: New York Rangers vs. Calgary Flames Open Thread

The New York Rangers' west coast trip resumes tonight against the Calgary Flames before one of his last stops in Vancouver. The Rangers are coming off a tough loss against the Edmonton Oilers, whereas the Flames are coming off an overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Rangers currently have 21 points on the season, which is good for third place in the division, but the Washington Capitals sit one point behind with three games in hand.

The Rangers have recalled Glenn Gawdin from the Hartford Wolf Pack and have placed him on the fourth line. With Alberts Smits on injured reserve, Matthew Robertson remains on the third line with Scott Morrow. Joonas Korpisalo was the first goaltender off the ice at morning skate and is likely to get the start. Former Rangers first-round pick Brennan Othmann is slotting back into the Flames lineup, and Devin Cooley will start between the pipes.

Player to Watch: Scott Morrow

Since the injury to Sean Durzi, Scott Morrow has gotten his first opportunity of the year and has made the most of it. Morrow has one assist through five games this season but has had strong underlying statistics in his small stretch of games.

Morrow also skated with the second power play unit in place of Adam Fox, giving him yet another opportunity. The Rangers made an effort not to waive Morrow at any point this season, and we are starting to see why.

Enjoy the game!
