Tonight, the Calgary Flames face the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

Both teams have seen plenty of goals lately, with the flames going over in their last three

games and the Rangers in four straight.

Fatih could play a big role here, as is their third match-up in four days.

That schedule means slabier defense, and more chances for scores.

The Rangers will likely start back up goal-eat, Jonathan Quick, instead of star Igor Shesterkin.

Quick has struggled badly since late December, ranking near the bottom and goals saved

above expected.

Players like Calgary's, Blake Coleman and Matt Coronato are hot on shots.

Coleman has fired eight in his last two games with heavy ice time, and Coronato has hit

three or more on target in most recent games against teams.

Like the Rangers, who ranked 20th in shot suppression.

Odds favor the over at 5.5 goals, sitting at minus 125, with the Rangers as slight favorites

at minus 100, 30 on the money line.

New York has cashed the over in 16 of their last 25 games.
