The New York Rangers are set to commence ABC's hockey coverage with a matchup against the Washington Capitals at home, kicking off at noon. Following a surprising victory over the Boston Bruins, the Rangers are eager to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since November. However, they face a formidable challenge against the Capitals, who currently lead the Metropolitan Division, and are bolstered by the relentless play of Alex Ovechkin.

Despite the Rangers' defensive struggles, there are no changes to their lineup, with Zac Jones remaining a scratch. The Capitals will feature a strong lineup, including Ovechkin, Dylan Strome, and Taylor Raddysh, while the Rangers will rely on the likes of Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad. Jonathan Quick is set to start in goal for the Rangers, aiming to help them achieve their predicted two-game winning streak.
