Rangers Still Under Pressure

There’s one thing for certain.  The Rangers don’t want to be heading back to D.C. with a 3-1 series deficit, and so they face another must-win game on home ice tonight.  The Capitals hiccupped a little in Game 3, destroying their own momentum by taking too many penalties.  It seems highly unlikely that things will […]

The Penguins have the most control, with a point […]

Rest For Some

With the Rangers no longer able to claim first place, Gerard Gallant says that the plan for the remaining two games, will be to rotate some of the regulars out for some rest.  Both Artemi Panarin and Andrew Copp will top that list, with both players having left the bench midway through the second period last night in the […]
