The Washington Capitals dropped their second regulation game in a row in a 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. What is usually a loud and hostile environment for the road team was rather quiet other than the piped in “Let’s go Rangers!” chants.
Ryan Strome put the Rangers up 1-0 1:41 into the game. 1-0 would be the score after one with the Rangers leading in shots 15-8.
In the second period the Rangers doubled their lead with a goal from Anthony Bitetto at 9:15.
