Tonight, the Washington Capitals will take on conference rivals The New York Rangers. The Caps-Rangers rivalry goes way back, to as early as the 1990’s, but intensified greatly in the 2010’s, when the two teams faced each other in the playoffs five times in five seasons.

The Capitals won their first game of the season at home on Wednesday, where they defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3. After allowing two goals by the Leafs in the first, Jakub Vrana would cut Toronto’s lead by half heading into the first intermission. The Capitals would come back to score three in under a minute-and-a-half, starting with a sneaky slip-in by Evgeny Kuznetsov. Nicklas Backstrom gave the Caps’ their first lead of the game, which would ultimately hold as the game-winning goal, just 11 seconds later. Just over 60 seconds later, John Carlson would score his 3rd goal of the season, on the power-play, giving the Capitals a 4-2 lead. Toronto would not score until the 17:27 mark of the third period, where John Tavares would similarly cut the lead to one. John Carlson, third overall in points, also leads the leagues’ defensemen in points and assists (14 and 11 respectively) (NHL.com, John Carlson). Coaching staff decided that Ilya Samsonov would start for the Capitals, and that turned out to be the right decision; Samsonov allowed just 3 goals on 32 shots, and subsequently won his 3rd game, improving his record to 3-1-0 (NHL.com, Ilya Samsonov). Braden Holtby, who has struggled this season thus far, will start between the pipes for the Capitals. More newsworthy is the confirmation from Michal Kempny himself, that he will play tonight for the first time since suffering a season-ending hamstring injury back in March. The blue-liners’ return has been highly anticipated, and fans are definitely excited about this one (Adam_Zielonka).

The New York Rangers will be playing their second game of a back to back, after losing 5-2 versus the struggling New Jersey Devils last night. A goal by Tony DeAngelo at the six-minute mark gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead, but three goals by the Devils established a lead they would ultimately hold. In a very penalty-heavy game, the Rangers received six power plays of their own, and despite not converting on a single opportunity, were able to kill off six of seven Devils’ power plays (TheScore, NYR v NJD). Currently, the Rangers allow the most shots on goal in the league, whereas the Capitals allow the fewest (35.3 vs 27.8) (TheScore, New York Rangers). They do however, boast the 2nd best faceoff percentage in the league, though they have only played 4 games thus far. Their shooting percentage is at 13.3%, good enough for 4th best. We anticipate that Henrik Lundqvist will start for the New York Rangers tonight.

Coverage of the game begins at 6:00pm with Caps Faceoff Live, followed by Caps Pregame Live at 6:30pm, all on NBCSN/NBCSWA, with puck drop shortly after 7:00pm.

Game Recap: New Jersey Devils vs New York Rangers 10/17/19

New Jersey Devils (1-4-2 4pts) vs New York Rangers (2-2-0 4pts)

 

Game Recap:

Tonight’s first matchup on the season renews the Hudson River rivalry between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers. Each team features the top two draft picks in this years draft in number one overall pick and American born center man Jack Hughes (Devils), & Finnish winger Kappo Kakko (Rangers). However each team is on a different path early on in the season. The Rangers are off to a solid start with a 2-1-0 record while the Devils still remain winless. Unfortunately for the Devils, they are still having challenges with getting off to good starts to their games. The Rangers would score first as defenseman Tony D’Angelo would jump into the play and put a loose puck in of the net behind Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood. New Jersey would respond at the 12:58 mark tie up the game on a goal from Devils winger Blake Coleman. Coleman took a snap shot coming down the right wing side that went by Rangers goalie Alexandar Georgiev. The Hudson River rivals would end the first period deadlocked at 1-1.

The start to the second period went very well for the Devils as they cashed in on an early power play opportunity to take the lead as Rangers defenseman Brady Skjei would be called for interference. Devils winger Kyle Palmieri would score the teams first power play goal of the season after previously going 0-20 on the man advantage. New Jersey would strike again later on as they would get a goal from winger Miles Wood as he deflected the puck behind the Rangers goalie off his backside. Devils number one overall pick and rookie Jack Hughes would get his first point in the National Hockey League as he would assist on the play as the puck deflected off of his stick and onto Miles Wood for the goal. After two periods, the Devils would take a 3-1 lead going into the third period.

The New York Rangers would pull within one goal early in the third period as Jesper Fast would backhand a shot into the back of the net to pull the Rangers within one goal. The Devils moments later thought they would be back up by two goals however, the goal was waived off due to goalie interference. New Jersey would challenge the play and the referees would disagree and the call on the ice would stand. The Devils would be assessed a minor penalty for delay of game as their coaches challenge would be deemed incorrect. However, the Devils would wind up going back up by two goals over the Rangers as Nikita Gusev would pick up the puck off of a turnover and fire the puck into the back of the net to add onto the Devils lead. In the final minutes, the Devils would seal the deal and finally get their first victory on the season as PK Subban would notch his first goal as a Devil by firing the puck into the back of the empty net as the Rangers had an extra attacker on the ice. The New Jersey Devils would win by a final score of 5-2 over the New York Rangers.
