The New York Rangers are looking to get back in the win column at home after dropping back-to-back games in the state of Florida, and this Wednesday’s contest vs. the Washington Capitals provides an opportunity to do so.
The game will be an important test for the Rangers, and being off on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday gives them an opportunity to rest, practice, and reset themselves against one of the best teams in the league.
Playing against one of the top teams in the league is a good benchmark opportunity for a “building” team like the Rangers, and they will need to play the game with an extra sense of urgency, something they didn’t do earlier this month against an Ottawa Senators team that was at the bottom of the standings.
