In defeating the Washington Capitals 4-2 on Thursday night, the Blueshirts have won two games in a row and are 3-0-1 in their last four games.
Ryan Strome had two goals and Artemi Panarin had three assists in the victory.
With the two goals, Strome tied a single-game career-high with two goals and has posted a two-goal game for the 10th time in his NHL career.
