Top NHL Games of the Week (2/16)

February 16, 2016

As the hunt for the Stanley Cup Playoffs continue, each week becomes increasingly more important in the NHL. The New York Rangers will look to further cement their strong positioning in the Eastern Conference this week but will need to do so over the Chicago Blackhawks, who are tied with the Dallas Stars for the best record in the Western Conference at 79 points each. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Philadelphia Flyers will butt heads with the Philadelphia Flyers while the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks serve as a second Canadian stop on this week's top NHL games list.

Check out the complete list below, according to data provided by TicketIQ:

2/17/16 New York Rangers vs Chicago Blackhawks | Avg. Price: $308.34 | Get-in: $134

The Rangers have played exceptionally well over their last 10 games, going 7-2-1 over that time. They'll need a minor miracle to catch the Presidents' Trophy-bound Washington Capitals, who have already accumulated 84 points through 56 games this season. However, the Rangers are still warranting massive ticket demand on the secondary market, especially against the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks at Madison Square Garden this Wednesday. The average price for New York Rangers tickets against the Chicago Blackhawks is now $308.34 and the cheapest ticket available is listed for $134.

2/20/16 Toronto Maple Leafs vs Philadelphia Flyers | Avg. Price: $292.20 | Get-in: $142

The worst record in the NHL hasn't deterred the Maple Leafs from posting big ticket demand on the secondary market this season. The team has collected just 49 points through 55 games but is a frequent contributor to our top NHL games list each week. The Leafs host the Philadelphia Flyers at Air Canada Centre on Saturday, where Toronto Maple Leafs tickets on the secondary market average $292.20 and the get-in price starts from $142.
