This felt like a video game. Am I sure I wasn’t just playing NHL 16 on my PlayStation 4? Well, either way, the Washington Capitals scored six straight goals, chased Henrik Lundqvist out of the game, and dominated the Rangers for a 7-3 win at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night.
It was a tale of two periods. The Rangers scored 3 goals in less than five minutes following a Justin Williams goal to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the first period. In the blink of an eye it felt like this was going to be another frustrating, mistake-filled thrashing in the Big Apple.
