New York Rangers

Washington Capitals

Match Preview

On April 21, the first match of the Stanley Cup ⅛ finals will take place between the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals. It will be held at the “Madison Square Garden” arena in New York. Ovechkin and his team will try to cause trouble for one of the main favorites of the tournament.

New York had a splendid regular season. The Rangers avoided long downturns, thanks to which they won the Presidents' Trophy. Artemi Panarin deserves special attention. The Russian has scored 120 points (49+71) and made an invaluable contribution to the team's play.

In the middle of winter, it seemed that Washington would miss the playoffs. But the Capitals pulled themselves together and managed to jump on the last train, securing a series of three victories at the end of the regular season. Of course, an important role in this success was played by Alexander Ovechkin. The first part of the season did not go well for the leader, but when the team was backed into a corner, he stepped up and eventually scored 65 points (31+34).

Probable lineups:

New York: Shesterkin – Fox, Lindgren – Roslovic, Zibanejad, Kreider

Washington: Lindgren – Carlson, Fehervary – Oshie, McMichael, Ovechkin

The hosts will be without Wheeler and Chytil, who the team has already gotten used to playing without. But the visitors have two important losses in their defensive line – Sandin and Jensen will not play.

It will be tough for Washington in this series, considering the Capitals' low scoring. They rarely manage to score more than three pucks, and doing so against the best team of the regular season is an extremely difficult task.
