The decision to reunite defensemen K'Andre Miller and Braden Schneider is looking like a wise one for Blueshirts coach Peter Laviolette.
The New York Rangers withstood the strong bounce-back effort they anticipated from the Washington Capitals and held on to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series. Vincent Trocheck and Mika Zibanejad each had a goal and an assist and the Presidents' Trophy-winning Rangers beat the scrappy Capitals 4-3 Tuesday night. “I expected that tonight, the way it played out, physical and some attitude and directness inside of the game,” New York coach Peter Laviolette said.
Jack Roslovic and K'Andre Miller scored on special teams 4:26 apart in the second period and the host New York Rangers hung on for a 4-3 victory over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday in Game 2 of an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. The Rangers lead the best-of-seven series 2-0 heading to Game 3 on Friday in Washington. As in New York's 4-1 win on Sunday, the Rangers took control in the second period, but this time they had to survive a shaky final 10 minutes. With eight seconds left on a cross-checking penalty to Washington defenseman John Carlson, Roslovic snapped a 2-2 tie with 7:34 remaining in the middle frame.
