The Washington Capitals went into New York to take on the Rangers with quite an interesting lineup, beleaguered by injuries. That shouldn’t be an excuse though for what was a very poor defensive effort in a 4-1 loss.
The shots ended tied at 31 apiece and the Caps took the five-on-five shot attempt battle, 48 to 36.
