NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers had the fewest home wins of the 16 teams in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau says Madison Square Garden isn’t overly loud and intimidating.
The first part is true, the second is open to debate. What is for sure is the Rangers are 1-0 at home in the postseason and could tie the top-seeded Capitals with another win there Wednesday.
The Capitals and Rangers took it easy Monday on the first of a two-day break before the first-round series resumes with Game 4. Washington took the first two games at its raucous Verizon Center. New York cut the deficit in half with a 3-2 win Sunday.
