At this point, in the final week of the season, all the Rangers want to do is play out their final few games, get some quality experience for their kids, maybe experiment with a few new line combinations, just to get some ideas going into next season.
But when you play against the Washington Capitals, you always have to deal with the problem that is Tom Wilson.
Wilson, the Capitals forward who has been suspended five times in his NHL career, including a seven-game suspension this season for boarding Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo, brutally attacked three Rangers forwards while the Capitals were killing a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty in the second period Monday. He was assessed a double-minor for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct by the referees, but he was able to remain in the game, which the Capitals won, 6-3.
