After their furious third period rally fell short on Sunday, the Rangers will get another crack at knocking off the Washington Capitals. A 4-0 deficit midway through the third ended in a 5-4 defeat, so the team is to be commended for a strong final push to close the game. However, David Quinn’s squad will need to bring that compete level from the moment the puck drops if they’d like to earn two points tonight. Just as the Blueshirts appeared to be sneaking back into the playoff picture, a pair of losses to Washington and Philadelphia have put them in dire straits once again.
