New York Rangers at Washington Capitals Preview & Picks

New York are backed to wrap up this series in Washington.

  • New York Rangers are 13-3 in their last 16 games
  • New York Rangers are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings with Washington
  • New York Rangers have won 5 of the last 7 meetings by 2+ goals
  • The Under has cashed in 5 of the 7 meetings this season

Head To Head

  • The regular season series was split 2-2
  • New York Rangers lead this NHL Playoffs series 3-0
  • New York Rangers won 3-1 when the two teams last met on April 26

New York Rangers Form

New York go into the second road game of this series with an opportunity to sweep Washington in four games.

The Rangers finished top of the Metropolitan Division by compiling a 55-23-4 regular-season record.

And although they dropped a few games late on in the regular season, they did wrap up that part of the campaign with back-to-back wins.

New York kept that win streak going in the opening game of this series with Washington, easing to a 4-1 win over the Capitals.

The visitors put up more of a fight in the second matchup, but the Rangers still ran out winners, taking it 4-3, and they then followed that up with a 3-1 win in Washington.

Washington Capitals Form

Washington go into Game 4 knowing they must now win the next four games to advance in the playoffs.

The Capitals compiled a 40-31-11 record during the regular season, and that was enough to secure fourth place in the Metropolitan Division.

A run of six straight losses late in the regular season almost cost them a playoff place, but they finished strong with four wins in their final five games.

Washington failed to keep that good run going though, as they were beaten 4-1 and 4-3 in New York to start the series.

The Capitals now find themselves behind the 8-Ball after falling to a 3-1 defeat to the Rangers in their first home game of the series.

Verdict

New York are in firm control of the series, and at this point it feels like a case of 'when' and not 'if' they advance.

We expect that to happen tonight, with the Rangers completing a series sweep.
