With the victory, the Rangers reached 100 points for the 12th time in franchise history and the second consecutive year.
Five goals may have represented the Rangers’ highest production on the road since Feb. 17, but the various ways in which they came made it all the more encouraging.Another was a result of a strong effort off the rush.Alexis Lafreniere celebrates his goal during the Rangers’ 5-2 win over the Capitals on Sunday.Head coach Gerard Gallant’s scathing message about their poor starts Friday night appeared to reach the Rangers loud and clear.
In contrast with the previous four road games, the first period saw the Rangers emerge with a 2-0 lead instead of trailing. The Rangers may have been playing to the Capitals’ speed, but they flashed some picture-perfect plays to pull ahead. After K’Andre Miller cleaned up a rebound off a sweet move from Vincent Trocheck, who put the puck between his legs and went to his backhand for the initial shot, the Kid Line went to work just over two minutes later.
Filip Chytil dished the puck back to Lafreniere, who pulled off his own between-the-legs move and finished with a backhander for the 2-0 lead at 15:19 of the first period.
