Rangers Blank Flames, Lafreniere Hat Trick

0:00For the Calgary Flames, it's March 11th. Here's what's happening. The New York Rangers shut out the Calgary Flames, forward nothing in Madison Square Garden. Alexis LaFranaire led the way with the hat trick, while Jonathan Quicks did tall in net for his second straight strong start. This marked the Flames second game on a five-game Eastern Road Trip. Calgary's Matt Coronado topped all players with six shots on goal, but they couldn't crack quick. The Rangers grabbed a one-nothing lead after the first period on LaFranaire's Powerplay goal. Calgary had prime chances early, including Coronado's breakaway on his first shift, and Yegor Sharrangovic's shorthanded shot that hit the crossbar. New York pulled away in the second period, with goals from Conor Shiri at the 1028 mark, and LaFranaire's second six minutes later, on a mercy. Nice passing play. LaFranaire sealed his hat trick with 218 left in the third. Coronado had one last great look, late, but it slid just wide, leaving the flames scoreless.
