Washington Capitals vs New York Rangers Prediction & Picks - NHL

 by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks

The fourth match in the NHL playoffs calendar will be played next Sunday, April 21st when New York Rangers receive Washington Capitals at 01:00 pm Central Time, match that looks as one of the most uneven of the Eastern Conference since NY Rangers is the 2024 Presidents’ Cup champion, and Washington Capitals classified to this round even when they are one of the worst offensives of the Conference.

Checking on both teams’ performance, New York Rangers made a great effort to recover from a streak of 2 consecutive losses at the end of the regular season, bad streak that they were able to revert and to convert it in 2 consecutive victories over Ottawa Senators and NY Islanders that ensured them the Presidents’ Cup, trophy that Dallas Stars was also pretending to win.

On the other side, Washington Capitals was able to surpass a very difficult end of the season where they had a great dispute against Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins for the eighth spot of the Eastern Conference. However, they have a negative goals balance, as they were only able to score 220 goals throughout the season, while receiving 257.
