Save for a brief 2:06 stretch of madness in the second period of Game One when conceding an astounding three goals, Washington looked a proper match for the Rangers. Charlie Lingdren also stabilized in the Caps' goal after that blitz, resembling the goalie that had saved 130 of the past 137 shots he faced entering this series. The script could totally flip in Game Two if Washington can forge a lead, which it is very capable with Alex Ovechkin still in the fold. We maintain this series won't be a cakewalk for the Rangers and Peter Laviolette against his old team, and expect tight going tonight and throughout the duration of this matchup.

We stay on theme with "going back to our winning Game 1 bets" with the under in this Caps-Rangers series again. It was a sweat, but ultimately it stayed under Sunday afternoon with New York winning 4-1. Save for a brief explosion in the middle of the second period, goals were not found, and that still projects to be the case between these two. The average total goals scored in five meetings this year is now just 4.6 goals per game.
