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 projected to struggle on defense, but it’s still too soon to see if that will hold. The Rangers have won two in a row, but have also lost key players in each win. In addition to Vincent Trocheck, they lost Carson Soucy to a likely concussion.
The Caps are the last mediocre team the Rangers will face for a while, with 4 likely playoff teams coming up next week. The Rangers do need to bank points against opponents like the Caps, but they are also on the second of a back to back, on a travel day, missing two starters, and playing the backup goalie. Still, this is a different team do let’s see how this plays out.
