Rangers vs Flames Picks and Prediction – 11/22/2024

The New York Rangers will visit the Calgary Flames on November 21, 2024, at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary. This inter-conference matchup features two teams at the top of the NHL. The Rangers (12-4-1) have been surging thanks to their offensive firepower and reliable goaltending, while the Flames (10-6-3) are looking to continue their form, winning three of their last four games. Get in on all the action with our free NHL picks.

The Rangers' success has been spearheaded by forward Artemi Panarin, who has 24 points (10 goals, 14 assists) this season. Mika Zibanejad is also on a hot streak, contributing 14 points so far this year. On the defensive end, Adam Fox has been a steady presence, while goaltender Igor Shesterkin continues to anchor the team with a .911 save percentage. New York’s depth and ability to dominate possession make them a formidable road opponent​.

The Flames, meanwhile, have had a promising start, lead by standout performances from Nazem Kadri and Rasmus Andersson. Goalie Dustin Wolf has shown promise in net but has faced challenges behind a defense allowing too many high-danger opportunities. Calgary has also had some scoring issues as of late, as they have only eclipsed 2 goals in 1 of their last 4 games.

The Rangers come into this game with momentum and a well-rounded roster that matches up favorably against the Flames’ defensive struggles. With Calgary also struggling to score in their past few games, New York’s consistent offensive output and strong goaltending should give them the edge. Predicted score: Rangers win 4-2.
