Following an impressive 3-2 shootout win over the Colorado Avalanche Tuesday night, the New York Rangers headed to the nations’ capital to square off against the defending champion Washington Capitals.
It was a tightly contested game between the two long rivals. A contest that ended up seeing the Caps prevail with a 4-3 overtime victory, despite the Blueshirts making it interesting.
You have to like what you saw from the young Blueshirts who were able to keep up with one of the games best. One can argue that the only reason New York came on the wrong side of this one was due to their special teams.
