The New York Rangers played 55 minutes of great hockey tonight, but tossed away their one-goal lead late in the game against the Washington Capitals. New York did an excellent job of shutting down Washington’s attack for a majority of the net, and then Alex Ovechkin arrived in the third period to take over the game. Alexandar Georgiev had a relatively light workload with the Rangers stellar defensive play, but gave up two goals in the final minutes of the game.
