Capitals @ Rangers Game 1 Recap: Mid-Game Explosion Downs Caps, 4-1

Plus: The Caps are extremely shorthanded right now on the blueline, but Alex Alexeyev had a pretty decent performance for himself in his first-ever NHL postseason outing.

Minus: Giving up a goal to Matt Rempe? Matt Rempe?? Gross.

Key Moment: The three goals in just over two minutes early in the second period simply doomed the Caps and they weren’t able to recover.

Caps Player of the Game: Giving this one to a combo of Aliaksei Protas and Alexeyev, both of whom were noticeable in a (mostly) good way today.
