NEW YORK — The New York Rangers withstood the strong bounceback effort they anticipated from the Washington Capitals and held on to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series.
New York, seeking its first Stanley Cup championship in 30 years, has won four straight and 12 of its last 15 games. With New York leading 4-2, there was some pushing and shoving 6 1/2 minutes into the third period after the Rangers' Artemi Panarin knocked T.J. Oshie off the puck with a hard hit. The play was reviewed for a major penalty, but none was called. McMichael was instead given a minor for roughing.
The Capitals pulled Lindgren for an extra skater with 2:48 to go and had several chances, but couldn't get the equalizer.
