Playing without their coaches because of COVID-19 issues, with Kris Knoblauch from the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack filled in and the Rangers scored 9 goals without conceding a single one against the Philadelphia Flyers. A repeat performance of that night, is highly unlikely for NY here on Friday night.

This team has managed to win just one of its last six contests after scoring at least five goals in its previous matchup, and has recorded 10 defeats in its last 14 games following a win. The Capitals, on the other hand, have lost just three of their past 16 contests, are currently riding a six-game triumph run and have already beaten the Rangers in six of their most recent seven head-to-head meetings in Washington.
Don't get caught up in the 9-0 hype as the Rangers do down tonight on the road in DC.
