Rangers Drop Capitals – GIF’s of the Game

The Rangers and Capitals would meet for the very first time this season with both teams off to fantastic starts. The Capitals would be looking for their 5th straight road win of the season, they have never started off a season 5-0-0 on the road. This game was a good measuring stick for both teams to get a better idea of who was really going to stand out from the Metropolitan Division this year. The last time the Capitals visited MSG, it wouldn’t end pleasantly as they would watch as Derek Stepan sent them packing in game 7 of the playoffs to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
