Story of the Day

The Capitals dropped Game 3 to the New York Rangers 3-1 on Friday at Capital One Arena and trail the Presidents’ Trophy winners 3-0 in their First Round series. The Capitals will look to extend the series on Sunday when they host Game 4 at 8 p.m. Washington went the entire regular season without losing four-straight regulation games.

John Carlson, who scored Washington’s lone goal on Friday, skated a game-high 30:30 after Trevor van Riemsdyk left the game in the first period with an upper-body injury. The 34-year-old defenseman has averaged a League-leading 29:34 of ice time through three postseason games. The Capitals haven’t had a game in which their top-six defensemen (John Carlson, Rasmus Sandin, Martin Fehervary, Nick Jensen, Trevor van Riemsdyk and Alex Alexeyev) have dressed and were available the full 60 minutes since April 5. Dylan McIlrath (13:49) and Lucas Johansen (16:05), who combined to play nine regular-season games for Washington in 2023-34, each logged postseason career highs in ice time on Friday.
