We are getting to the end of it. The regular season, that is. The penultimate week of the season — the last full week — on the Washington Capitals schedule features for games that reach bank into antiquity, by hockey standards. Four games against two opponents that they have faced off against since the first days of the franchise. In one case literally from the first game the Capitals ever played in the venue where it all began.
The Opponents
New York Rangers (Monday and Wednesday/7:00pm at Madison Square Garden)
October 9, 1974, New York… for the Washington Capitals, that is where it started.
