The Rangers ended the first half of the season on the highest of high notes two nights ago, blasting the Philadelphia Flyers to the tune of a 9-0 victory. They did that in their first game without David Quinn behind the bench, and they’ll look to keep the ball rolling in our nation’s capital tonight. Alex Ovechkin, Timothy Oshie, and the rest of the Washington Capitals.
While Washington has defeated every other team in the MassMutual East Division this year, the Blueshirts have won both of the prior meetings between these divisional foes. In fact, the two games against New York represent two of only three games the Capitals never held a lead in this season.
