STATE OF THE BLUESHIRTS: The Rangers won Game Three, but they are far from back in this series. As important as winning on Sunday was, winning tonight is even more important. A tied series heading back to Washington puts the Caps on their heels. It’s the same lineup tonight as it was on Sunday. Considering Bruce Boudreau’s recent comments, I expect the Garden to be rockin.
CRAZY THOUGHT: Avery gets a Gordie Howe hat trick.
