The New York Rangers could not have asked for a better recovery from a season-opening loss, and they'll look to stay hot Friday as they travel to face the Capitals.
New York has won four in a row since falling to Boston in its opener, with each of those successive victories coming by multi-goal margins.
The Rangers are averaging four goals per game in that span, with numerous players contributing on the offensive end. Alexis Lafreniere and Eeli Tolvanen lead the way with three goals apiece, while Adam Fox has a team-high five assists.
On the opposite side, Alex Ovechkin has yet to add to his NHL-record career goals total through three games in his final season, but Caps newcomer Alex Tuch has scored three times and Tom Wilson tallied a goal and two assists in Wednesday's win over the Penguins.
It should be a good one in D.C. Here's when and where to tune in.
