Special teams carry Rangers to 3-1 win over Capitals, 3-0 series lead

Nothing seems to be able to knock the New York Rangers off their game, certainly not giving up a fluky bounce goal five minutes in or having seven penalties called on them. Again they responded to whatever the Washington Capitals threw at them, and now they're one win away from the second round. Vincent Trocheck had a power-play goal and a short-handed assist, Igor Shesterkin made 27 saves and the Rangers beat the Capitals 3-1 in Game 3 Friday night, taking a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven first-round series.
