The Rangers gave San Jose their first win of the season, more wins than the Rangers have at MSG this year, with poor and sloppy play. With Matt Rempe joining Vincent Trocheck on the injured list, Brennan Othmann has been recalled to hopefully inject some life into this listless offense. Othmann will flank Noah Laba alongside Will Cuylle for a line that should be fun to watch. Taylor Raddysh as a top winger will probably be less fun to watch.
Calgary should be better than them, and there are already rumors that they could blow things up, starting with defenseman Rasmus Andersson. The Flames have a similar situation to the Rangers, where they create chances but don’t finish them. This could be a very boring game, or maybe the floodgates will open for both teams and it will become a shootout.
