After a three day stretch of days off from games, the Rangers were back at it tonight in Washington as they kicked off another back-to-back against the Capitals. While the Rangers had plenty of time to regroup from their loss in Ottawa on Tuesday, the Caps were still fresh off a shootout loss to the Dallas Stars on Thursday Night.
A couple pre game notes: Riley Nash would make his NYR debut slotting in on the fourth line in place of Barclay Goodrow who is injured from taking a puck to the face in Ottawa. This would also be the first time that the Lindgren brothers would play against each other with Ryan’s older brother Charlie getting the start in the opposing net.
