The Rangers and the Capitals square off in the National Hockey League on Friday evening. What to expect from this fixture? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
New York Rangers
USAThe Rangers should be pleased with their performance in the 2021-2022 regular season. New York tried to make it into the top-3 in the East but dropped to the 5th line following defeats in the last three games. The Cops lost to Boston (1:3) away, to Carolina (3:4) and Montreal (3:4) at home.
One of the key forwards of the Rangers Artemi Panarin got injured, but Kaapo Kakko is back in the ranks. We expect Gallant's charges to give their best in the last game of the regular season.
Washington Capitals
USAWashingtonare 8th in the East. The team couldn't strengthen their standings due to problems in defense. The team concedes about three goals per game on average, and it will be hard for them to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Alexander Ovechkin remain sidelined with injury, which negatively affects the Capitals' attacking performance. The team lost three games in a row - to Toronto (3:4 SO), and the Islanders (1:4 and 1:5).
