Sharangovich, in his 300th NHL game, made it 2-0 on the power play at 8:29 of the second period when he one-timed Weegar’s pass over Shesterkin’s blocker from the right circle. The Rangers challenged the goal to no avail, suggesting Huberdeau played the puck in front of the goal with a hand pass.

“I don’t know the exact definition of the rule,” Trouba said. “I thought it was definitely worth a challenge. It looks like the puck hits gloves that are kind of hanging in the air and is considered a hand pass. They reviewed it and did what they thought was the right decision and we can don’t do anything about it.”

Lafreniere cut the lead to 2-1 at 16:37. Wolf made the first stop on a point shot from Trouba, but Lafreniere lifted the rebound off the post and in.

Cuylle scored 16 seconds later to make it 2-2 when his deflection on K’Andre Miller’s point shot sent the puck flying over Wolf’s right path.

“They came out hard and were all over us,” Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren said. “They were watching us hard. We didn’t do a good job of getting the puck out. When we got it out, we couldn’t get it in, we turned it over and they came right back at us. Definitely not the way we want to start the match. It’s hard to come back like this.

NOTES: Calgary has won four straight at home and is 5-1-0 against Metropolitan Division opponents this season. … Huberdeau had an assist on Zary’s goal, his 500th in the NHL.
