RANGERS 1CAPITALS 0
Get you brooms ready Ranger fans! The Rangers shut out the offensive powerhouse that is the Washington Capitals today in D.C. by a score of 1-0, to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the opening round of the 2009 NHL playoffs.
This game was all about Henrik Lundqvist who recorded a perfect 35 saves in 35 attempts, and more importantly, holds one of the league leaders in scoring, Alexander Ovechkin, to no goals on six shots. It was a brilliant performace by one of the game's top goal tenders.
Offensively, the Rangers didn't get much accomplished against Simeon Valamov, who surrendered a goal to Ryan Callahan early in the first period.
The Rangers will now come home for games three and four on Monday and Wednesday night, where fans will pumped for a possible sweep.
