The Washington Capitals and New York Rangers have had numerous tight playoff battles in recent years, so it was only appropriate that Wednesday's Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Semifinal was decided in overtime.
When the dust settled in Madison Square Garden, the Rangers emerged with a 2-1 victory to pull within four wins of a trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
