Facing Alexander Ovechkin and the Capitals on Tuesday night at the Garden will almost be like looking in the mirror for the Rangers.
The home team will enter the game as winners of eight of its past 10 games, while the visitors can one-up that stat as winners of nine of their past 10. Both clubs were in very different places just a month ago, and both started stringing victories together at the right time to catch up in the standings.
It’s become abundantly clear that every division game is going to be crucial in the Metropolitan standings, which is already neck-and-neck among six of the eight teams. And this will be the first of four meetings between the Rangers and the Capitals.Ovechkin will take the ice at the World’s Most Famous Arena in the middle of his pursuit to break hockey’s most famous record. The veteran scoring machine collected goals No. 801 and No.
Not that playing overly respectful has been an issue for the Rangers this season, but getting caught up in momentum swings has. A historic goal from Ovechkin at a big moment in the game is certainly one of those types of situations the Rangers need to be wary of — and prepared for.
