Washington Capitals vs New York Rangers Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks

The NHL Metropolitan Division will offer such an incredible game next Wednesday night when New York Rangers confront Washington Capitals at the mythical Madison Square Garden at 06:30 pm CST. In this matter, it must be noted that these teams are expected to deliver such an even game due to the current performances that they recently had, however the biggest obligation will be on the Rangers, as they’re on high risk of losing their playoffs’ spot.

When looking closely at New York Rangers, they finally were able to get into the playoffs’ spots due to the great performance they’ve been showing after the 4 Nations Face-Off, in which Artemi Panarim has regained trust and effectiveness, remarking as the shooting on target leader during the last 3 games of this team. Additionally, J.T. Miller has also been one of the most incisive offensive players for the Rangers, so he’s expected to keep his effectiveness during the last part of the regular season.

Meanwhile, Washington Capitals is crossing through a very irregular streak, and even though they broke a streak of 3 losses in a row after their most recent overtime victory over Ottawa Senators (5-4), their advantage in the Eastern Conference standings has been reduced to 7 points. Also, it cannot be forgotten that Alex Ovechkin got stuck on the 11 goals to go line before converting into the all-time scorer in the NHL, so frustration must be controlled.
