PREVIEW & TIPS Washington Capitals VS New York Rangers
Washington Capitals – New York Rangers – The Washington team, on the eve of this duo, is on the third position of the Eastern Conference and have little chance of progressing until the end of the season. Six rounds before the end, they have eight points less than the second-placed Boston, and there should be a real miracle to finish elsewhere. For the Rangers team, this game has no significant significance since they have lost all chances to play.
Washington Capitals News
Capitals share the third position with Torotne, given that they have the same number of points and by the end of the regular part of the two teams will lead the battle to win the third place. They have five points more than Pittsburgh that occupies the fifth place and we do not believe they will be bidding in the finals of the season. They have recently improved their game and are currently in very good shape. In the past nine games, they made eight victories, and the only defeat was in mid-March at Philadelphia.
Although the attackers did not play badly in that match, the defender defeated them and in the end they were defeated by 6: 3. However, this defeat did not distract the game of Capitals too much, which in the next four rounds recorded the same number of victories. First they beat Dallas at home, and then they were better than Detroit, Montreal and in the last round, just from New York Rangers. Already after 17 minutes of the first third, Washington had a lead of 0: 4 and the winner was resolved. By the end of the match, the home team only managed to defeat the defeat of Andersson and Zuccarelle goals. Washington now plays again against Rangers, but this time to the home crowd.
Washington Capitals VS New York Rangers STATS
Washington is in much better shape than Rangers and the visiting players will certainly have a very difficult task. Capitals at home do not know about defeat for six games, and all but the victory of the home team would be a great surprise.
New York Rangers News
New York Rangers are the biggest disappointment this season. The team that last year reached the conference finals this time will remain even without play. Six rounds before the end of the regular part of the championship are in the 11th place and have a large 14 points behind the eighth Devils. They have long lost all chances for placement in the playoffs and will try to improve the impression that they have achieved in the previous part of the championship.
Hockey Rangers opened the season with seven defeats in eight games, and it was already felt that this year will be unsuccessful for them. They did not provide a better party at the start of the championship, and it is certain that a reconstruction of the team will be necessary during the summer break. In the past five encounters they suffered four defeats, and were better than Buffalo, the worst team of the Eastern Conference. As we have already said in the first part of the text, Rangers lost to Washington last round and now have a chance to go on a roaming trip.
