Capitals vs. Rangers Recap: New York Neutered By Synergy of Size and Skill

In perhaps the most anticipated regular season game in recent memory Washington walked though New York Justice on their way to a 4 to 2 win.

Here’s Wednesday night’s Plus/Minus:

Plus: In T.J. Oshie’s first game since the passing of his father Tim, Oshie recorded a hat trick while he and teammates wore COACH (Tim’s moniker) helmet decals.

Minus: Pavel Buchnevich.

Twelve more notes on the game:

1. Zero seconds into the contest Nic Dowd, Carl Hagelin, and Garnet Hathaway squared up with Kevin Rooney, Colin Blackwell, and Phillip De Giuseppe respectively in a largely performative act.
