Returning to play after the holiday break Washington travelled to New York for a Metropolitan Division clash against the Rangers that the Capitals won decisively 4 to 0.
Here’s Tuesday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: Darcy Kuemper’s performance (32 saves, third shutout of the season), proving the Capitals have got a pair of elite goalies going.
Minus: Alexander Alexeyev hit the crossbar in the first period, inches away from his first NHL goal.
More notes on the game:
- Eight minutes into the opening frame and the Rangers were whistled for consecutive penalties, starting a 99 second two man advantage for the Capitals.
