The Capitals were shocked by the Rangers in the opener, as they dropped a 4-3 decision, and you know they will be loaded for bear in this one. It marks the second straight road win for the Rangers, and there has been just one time all season that the Rangers have won three on the road, and I don't expect this to become the second time. Outside of a three-game home losing streak this season, the Caps have come back from a home loss and gone 8-1, with a margin of winning those eight games by nearly two goals a game. The Rangers are just 36-80-6 in their last 122 against a team with a home winning percentage of .600 or higher, while the Caps stand at 37-15 in their last 52 home games. Washington bounces back and evens the series here.
