After yesterday’s no-show in Philly, the Rangers need to right the ship this afternoon in Washington. Yesterday’s loss was a little rough, but it was bound to happen given some of the other games the Rangers had played. The key is not losing multiple games in a row, as the Rangers need to bank points and get on win streaks. This is a big chance to start a win streak, as after this two game set against the Caps, the Rangers get Buffalo twice.
The next two games, and then the four games against the Penguins and Islanders, will give us a glimpse into the Rangers future this season.
