Quick-strike Rangers aim to go up 2-0 on Capitals

New York seeks a 2-0 series lead for the second straight season before heading to Washington Friday for Game 3. Last season, the Rangers decisively won two road games before dropping the series with the New Jersey Devils in seven, but this time they own home-ice advantage throughout the postseason. Matt Rempe, who took a charging penalty a little over two minutes into the contest, scored the first of three New York goals in 2:06 to energize the crowd. "Obviously him scoring sent the fans crazy and then we scored two more goals in the next two minutes, so I think he definitely gets the crowd into the game," New York's Jimmy Vesey said.
