Former Devils Shine as New York Rangers Fall to Calgary Flames: A Tough Loss and a Look Ahead
The New York Rangers faced a tough loss against the Calgary Flames, falling 5-1 in a game that saw former New Jersey Devils players shine. Yegor Sharangovich and Kevin Bahl scored their first goals of the season for Calgary. Blake Coleman, another former Devil, netted two goals against the Rangers, including a shorthanded goal, the first one New York has given up this season. Michael Backlund assisted on both of Coleman's goals.
Coleman, who previously played for the Tampa Bay Lightning, signed with Calgary in 2021 and had a strong performance against the Rangers. Sharangovich, acquired in the offseason, had success against New York during his time with the Devils. The Rangers will face the Vancouver Canucks next, followed by a game against the Edmonton Oilers, where former Devil Adam Henrique will be a player to watch.
The Rangers are on a three-game losing streak, while the Devils have won eight consecutive games. The upcoming matchups will be crucial for the Rangers as they look to turn their season around and secure some much-needed wins.
