Hannah Foslien-Imagn Images The Washington Capitals (39-29-9) finish off their weekend set of back-to-backs. They will visit the New York Rangers (32-26-9) at Madison Square Garden on Easter Sunday. The puck drops at 7:00 p.
m. ET. In addition to the game being shown on ESPN, you can also watch Capitals-Rangers on Disney Channel, Disney XD, and Disney+.
There will be an alternate “Inside Out Classic” animated telecast with characters from the Disney/Pixar film Inside Out . The Capitals began the back-to-back on a high note, with a 6-2 home victory over Buffalo on Saturday. Washington opened the game with three goals against a Sabres team that already clinched their first playoff berth since 2011.
The Capitals also got help from other teams to keep their playoff hopes alive with five games left. The team is now one point behind the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Capitals’ three first-period goals ended Buffalo netminder Alex Lyon’s night early.
That’s when Rasmus Dahlin and Beck Malenstyn cut the Sabres’ deficit to 3-2. Nevertheless, Aliaksei Protas, Ryan Leonard, and Tom Wilson added three more goals to seal it for the Capitals. Logan Thompson also made his 10th consecutive start, stopping 37 of 39 shots that went his way.
