CALGARY, Alberta — Five years, seven months and 22 days.

That’s how long it had been since the Rangers last won a game inside the rickety-yet-charming Scotiabank Saddledome. Four seasons, not including the intradivision-only 2021-22 campaign, of making the trek out to the snowy lands of Alberta, only to lose most games by egregious margins or in overtime.

Until Tuesday night, when the 2023-24 Rangers marched into the Flames’ territory and wrestled away a 3-1 win to secure their second victory in a row for the first time this season.

“It has been a while, right?” said Chris Kreider, who scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season on the power play in the win. “I kind of thought that coming in, I didn’t want to say it out loud.”

Calgary has been a tough matchup for the Rangers in recent years. In fact, since the last time the Rangers won in Calgary during the 2017-18 season, the club has gone 1-5-1 against the Flames.

Tuesday night, however, was a heavyweight win.

One that was built on the backs of their penalty killers, who fended off all four of the Flames’ power plays throughout the night, as well as the Rangers’ two goals with the man advantage in the second period.

The Flames had only given up a single power-play goal coming into the matchup.

Despite the win, the Rangers weren’t thrilled with their overall performance, in which they felt their game went in and out as opposed to the 60-minute effort they put together in Seattle.

The work-in-progress mindset is still present, and the Rangers are not going to rest on their laurels.

“There’s things that we can definitely do better,” head coach Peter Laviolette said. “I don’t think we were full tilt tonight. I thought we defended too much. When we’re on our game, we’re pressing the issue, we’re forechecking, we’re beating people to pucks. Every game can’t be an A-plus game. You want it to be, and then when it’s not, you try to fix it and correct it so it is an A-game. We’ll do that.

“In the end, sometimes you’re playing the hand that you’re being dealt regardless of whether it’s because of them or because of us.”

Dressing the same skaters for the third game in a row, the Blueshirts lineup is starting to develop chemistry. Certain lines are beginning to find each other on the ice without even looking.

After scoring two power-play goals in the win, one from both units, the Rangers power play has now scored in five of their first six games of the season.

They look in sync.

And the team’s top guns continue to deliver in every which way, especially Kreider, Artemi Panarin, Filip Chytil and Igor Shesterkin, who was sensational once again with 24 saves as he bailed the Rangers out when they needed it most.

Alexis Lafreniere scored his third goal of the season, as well as just his fourth power-play goal of his career, just over 7 ½ minutes into the second period after getting his stick on an Erik Gustafsson shot to knot the game 1-1.

The 22-year-old has looked rejuvenated to start the season, while skating on the second line with Chytil and Panarin.

“The season is still young, but just to get some games with the same guys is really good,” Lafreniere said. “Obviously, Fil and Bread are amazing, so it’s really fun to play with them.”

With an assist on Kreider’s 95th career power-play goal, Panarin has officially recorded a point in each of the Rangers’ first six games to start the season for a second straight year.

The fast starts just keep coming for Panarin, who continues to be one of the Rangers’ most important players in the regular season.

Chytil may be overdue for a goal with the way he has competed thus far, but the Czech center notched his fifth and sixth assists of the season on Lafreniere’s power-play goal and Gustafsson’s 3-1 score toward the end of the second period.

No one was more critical of the Rangers’ game than Chytil, who said the Rangers have set the bar high for themselves.

If that’s the attitude after snapping a long losing streak in one building, the Rangers clearly have their sights on bigger and better things.
