The Rangers have won two in a row and are looking to make it three in a row against the Washington Capitals at MSG. The Caps are expected to struggle on defense, but it’s too early to see if that will hold up. The Rangers have won two in a row, but have also lost key players with each win. In addition to Vincent Trocheck, they lost Carson Soucy to a probable concussion.
The Caps are the last mediocre team the Rangers will face for a while, with four playoff teams likely next week. The Rangers need to rack up points against opponents like the Caps, but they’re also in second place on a back-to-back, on travel day, missing two starters and playing the backup goalie. Still, this is a different team, let’s see how this plays out.
