Washington Capitals Form
Washington compiled a 40-31-11 regular-season record to finish fourth in the Metropolitan Division.
The Nationals almost cost themselves a playoff place when they lost six straight games between late March and early April.
They snapped that skid with a 2-1 victory in Detroit, only to then lose 4-2 when they visited Buffalo a couple of days later.
Washington did managed to steady the ship over the final three games though, securing their place in the postseason.
The Capitals started that sequence with back-to-back home wins, beating Tampa Bay 4-2 and Boston 2-0, and they then closed out the regular season with a 2-1 victory in Philadelphia.
New York Rangers Form
New York clinched top spot in the Metropolitan Division by putting together a 55-23-4 record in the regular season.
The Rangers enter the playoffs in good form too, having won 10 of their final 13 games in the regular season.
That sequence started with a five-game win streak, and they then rebounded from a 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh with three consecutive wins.
New York sandwiched a 4-3 victory in Detroit with home wins over New Jersey, 4-3, and Montreal, 5-2.
The Rangers’ run was halted by a 4-2 loss to the New York Islanders and a 4-1 loss to Philadelphia, but they were able to end the regular season on a high by beating the Islanders in a shootout before downing Ottawa 4-0.
Verdict
New York are in good form and have been stacking up wins at home over the past several weeks.
They also have a good recent track record when hosting Washington, so we are not expecting an upset in the series opener.
