The Rangers entered today’s contest following a loss on Friday night at The Garden. And had it not been for the play of Alexandar Georgiev, this one would’ve been over in regulation time as Georgiev stopped 37 of 39 Washington shots to get the game to a shootout.
Ryan Strome – The Rangers got off to a quick start as Ryan Strome produced the first goal of the game just 40 seconds into the opening frame. The Rangers forced a turnover behind the Capitals net and Chris Kreider got the puck to Strome in front for the early lead.
