Recap: Capitals Embarrass Rangers, 6-3
The trade deadline loomed large during the Rangers’ Saturday matinee in Washington. Once again, the Rangers dressed seven defenders, and the Capitals’ are without long time defender Dimitri Orlov and heart and soul forward Garnet Hathaway after they were dealt for picks. Oh, and Vitali Kravtsov got traded to the Canucks for beans in the middle of the game.
First Period
Barclay Goodrow and TJ Oshie took center stage in the first period, and not always for the right reasons. Skating in his 500th career game as a Capital, Oshie opened the scoring with a powerplay deflection after Goodrow took a tripping minor.
