The Rangers' rough run continued Saturday in a 6-3 loss to the Capitals, which included a costly injury on top of another defensive letdown.
— A game that had everything from highlight-reel goals and a fight to a potentially significant injury left one playoff-bound team searching for answers and gave a fading rival a glimmer of hope with plenty of regret about not turning things around sooner.
Coach Gerard Gallant had no postgame update on Lindgren's status. But he called the hit"dirty" and"cheap," and his players immediately knew it wasn't good. But while Kane can produce plenty offensively — his 1,225 points rank fourth among U.S. players — the three-time Stanley Cup champion doesn't solve New York's problem of keeping the puck out of its own net. Even All-Star goaltender Igor Shesterkin, who denied countryman Alex Ovechkin and others with some big saves, couldn't save the day against the Capitals, giving up five goals on 22 shots before getting pulled after two periods.
