It was late in the third period of Game 1 Sunday when Jack Roslovic worked the puck free from around the Rangers net, passed it to Mika Zibanejad who quickly sent a sling-shot of a pass down the ice to Chris Kreider, breaking free and uncovered into the Capitals zone. Kreider, in his 12th season as a Rangers winger, skated right at Capitals goalie Charlie Lindgren and then made a deke move to his right — Lindgren's stick side — and backhanded the puck into the Washington net for a 4-1 Rangers lead with 3:43 remaining.
