The Washington Capitals beat the New York Rangers 6-3 on Saturday, giving the Rangers their fourth consecutive loss.
WASHINGTON — 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.
“Divisional opponent coming in and big rivalry, emotional game, sometimes those are the ones that a team comes together,” Wilson said. “We showed up ready to play.” 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.“He’s a real heart-and-soul guy who does everything for our team,” forward Chris Kreider said. “It definitely hurts the team a lot to lose Ryan like that. Really isn’t another Ryan Lindgren, so it’s a big loss for us.”
“I get paid a lot of money to put offense up on the board and haven’t been doing it as of late,” Oshie said. “Felt good to get a couple.”
