    Happy Friday! Tonight, the Rangers are in town for the last time this season. Henrik Lundqvist Antii Raanta and Co. will pretend that snatching two points from the Caps is remotely meaningful. In case you forgot, there’s an 18-point cushion between the Caps and the Rangers.

    After a day off, let’s see if the Caps can manage to win a game by more than a single goal. Tonight kicks off another back-to-back for the good guys, who are undefeated in the month of March.

    7 PM. CSN-DC+. GET HYPE.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 47-14-4 51.5% 101.8 23.9% (1st) 84.5% (4th)
    New York Rangers 37-21-6 48.6% 102.6 17.2% (24th) 77.6% (25th)

    Projected Lineup

    Per NHL.com’s K-T Bee:

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie
    Burakovsky – Kuznetsov – Williams
    Chimera – Johansson – Wilson
    Winnik – Richards – Beagle

    Alzner – Niskanen
    Orpik – Orlov
    Weber – Chorney

    Holtby

    Swedish Sass

    Henrik Lundqvist is known for many things, including his luscious locks, impeccable style, and goaltending ability. For a guy that seems incredibly put together, he was quite frazzled last night when playing the Pens.

    I’m guessing this is the hockey equivalent of flipping a table, Real Housewives-style.

    Storylines

    • There’s a really fabulous mural in Moscow dedicated to Evgeny Kuznetsov.
    • If playing four games in five days weren’t exhausting enough, Johansson, Chorney, and Weber are new dads.
    • The playoffs aren’t far off, so who will make the cut?
    • Alex Ovechkin can’t stop, won’t stop–and neither will the praise for him.
    • …but don’t forget about Kuzy.
    • John Carlson’s injury means more eyes are on Dmitry Orlov.
    • Mike Richards is 20 games into his Capitals career, so Pat took a look at what he brings to the team.
    • Eric Rigsby has some thoughts on Maryland’s proposal to limit hits in youth hockey.
