Washington vs New York Rangers Prediction 29 April 2024
Match Preview
The fourth match of the ⅛ finals of the Stanley Cup between the Washington Capitals and the New York Rangers could be the last in the series. The "Blueshirts" were initially considered big favorites and so far have more than justified their status. Will Ovechkin and his team be swept, or will the spectators at Madison Square Garden still manage to witness their favorite team's victory?
How Washington could turn the series around is a very good question. So far, no spark in the game of Spencer Carbery's charges has been noticed, and the situation seems hopeless. Ovechkin still has zero points in this series, and the captain also made costly mistakes in the last two games. The leader can't find himself on the ice, just like the entire attacking line of the "Capitals".
Shesterkin tried to add intrigue to the third match by letting in an unnecessary puck, but this did not unsettle the "Rangers". They quickly tied the score, and a couple of minutes later were already ahead. Moreover, Goodrow scored while shorthanded, when the "Blueshirts" organized a quick counterattack in their trademark style. Panarin isn't scoring, but he's noticeable on the ice and brings benefit. Overall, everything in this series, as expected, is turning out in favor of Peter Laviolette’s team.
Projected lineups:
Washington: Lindgren – Carlson, Fehervary – Oshie, McMichael, Ovechkin
New York: Shesterkin – Fox, Lindgren – Roslovic, Zibanejad, Kreider
The hosts will be without Bear, Sandin, Backstrom, and Jensen. The guests will once again hit the ice without Wheeler and Hietala.
Let's be honest – Washington looks hopeless. The "Capitals" are noticeably weaker than their opponent in terms of gameplay, which they are well aware of. It seems that the hosts have already resigned themselves to being knocked out, and it's just left for the "Rangers" to finish what they started. We believe that the "Caps" attack won't manage anything significant again, so expecting more than two goals from them is not advisable.
