The Washington Capitals are still on the road as they visit Madison Square Garden and their old pals the New York Rangers. The two Metro Division teams will go head-to-head in a matchup that usually features a handsome-off between Braden Holtby and Henrik Lundqvist, but you’ll get neither of those two dudes tonight as Philipp Grubauer and Alex Georgiev man the cages.
We have a 7:30 PM start on NBCSN. Peter will be your recapper.
