Saturday afternoon hockey is back, and the Rangers are set to reunite with the Washington Capitals for their second meeting of the season. Today’s game was supposed to be the first of a back to back set in our nation’s capital, but tomorrow’s scheduled game was pushed back to the night of March 20th.
That leaves David Quinn’s squad with three days off following today’s game, so the team will want to put forth an effort to be proud of, rather than a shoddy performance to think about for the next three days. Igor Shesterkin will making another start in net for the Blueshirts, as he seems to have successfully staked his claim to being the team’s top goaltender.
