New York Rangers lose to Washington Capitals, 5-3
Last night the New York Rangers lost to the Washington Capitals, 5-3, at Madison Square Garden. The defeat came despite a couple Rangers goals from Brian Boyle, now on a 6-game tear with five goals, and one from Derek Boogaard, who hadn’t scored a goal in nearly five years. Boogaard’s 234 consecutive games without a goal was 21 games short of New Jersey’s Ken Daneyko’s record 255 games from 1999-2002. The Rangers continue their homestand with a game against the Buffalo Sabres tomorrow night. Photos by Avi Gerver, ©Madison Square Garden, L.P.
