WASHINGTON (AP) — Dominant in nearly every facet of hockey, the New York Rangers outmatched the Washington Capitals to move on to the second round of the NHL playoffs in sweeping fashion.
They won all four games thanks to talent advantages from the net out, superior special teams and a blend of depth and balance. They’re the first team to advance and in the process looked every bit like a legitimate Stanley Cup contender.
“The sign of a good team is when there is depth and balance,” said forward Barclay Goodrow, a back-to-back champion with Tampa Bay in 2020 and ’21 who had a goal and two assists in the series.
“Come this time of year, you need everyone on your team,” he added. “Everyone’s leaned on to contribute in whatever way you contribute to your team. ... It’s been great for us, and it’s something that we’re going to need to continue.”
