The Washington Capitals will host the New York Rangers today in a matinée at Capital One Arena. New York will be playing back-to-back games after losing a close one to Philadelphia yesterday so fatigue could be an issue. The Rangers have been a thorn in the side of the East leading Capitals, winning 3 of the 4 meetings this year, but they are catching a Washington team that is hot. The Capitals have won two straight, 9 of their last 10, and have been a force at home. They are 12-4-1-1 at Capital One and 7-2 in their last 9 against the Rangers in DC.
