Preview: Make sure to check out Justin’s goalie preview of Braden Holtby. Also, make sure to check out Suit’s systems analysis and my overall preview (combined in one post due to time constraints) here. That should give you everything you need to know about the Caps and how the Rangers match up.

This is a better match up for the Rangers than the Senators, but they still need to go out there and play the right way.

Crazy Thought: Bickel gets a goal.
