The Rangers have been on some roller coaster ride this season. Their highs have been very high, and their lows very, very low.
Wednesday night, playing at Madison Square Garden in a sandwich game, between their two-game trip to Florida last weekend and their two-game trip to Ottawa and Montreal this weekend, was one of their highest highs of the season.
Two power-play goals by Artemi Panarin, goals by Pavel Buchnevich and Brett Howden, and a solid performance by goaltender Henrik Lundqvist powered the Rangers to a convincing 4-1 victory over the Washington Capitals.
