The Caps took care of business against the Rangers yesterday…can they repeat that performance today? The two teams prepare to clash again this afternoon, this time at Madison Square Garden, where the Caps will be looking to string a couple of wins together for the first time in seemingly forever and the Rangers will be looking to not drop their fifth-straight game.

First, some admin stuff:

  • Who: Capitals @ Rangers
  • Where: Madison Square Garden
  • When: 1:00 p.m.
  • How to watch: Monumental, NHL Network
  • How to listen: 106.7, Capitals Radio 24/7

The Caps will roll out the same lineup – down to their netminder – as yesterday, which means the captain is once again out. Here’s what that looks like (although as we know, Coach Carbery isn’t against shuffling things up a bit):

Pacioretty – Strome – Oshie
Lapierre – Kuznetsov – Mantha
Protas – McMichael – Wilson
Malenstyn – Dowd – Aube-Kubel

Fehervary – Carlson
Bear – Jensen
Edmundson – van Riemsdyk

Lindgren
Kuemper
