After going without the Stanley Cup for 20 seasons, the New York
Rangers weren’t about to stand back at this year’s trade deadline. The
Rangers will bring their bolstered lineup to DC Wednesday night (8:00 PM
ET, NBCSN) to face the Washington Capitals, who’ve done a little
spring cleaning of their own.

New York (40-17-2-5, 34-30 ATS for plus-11.33 units) went all-in for the
playoffs by sending a healthy package of draft picks and prospects to
the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for defenseman Keith Yandle (four
goals, 37 assists). Yandle should help improve the Rangers’ defensive
power play, which ranks No. 9 in the league at 83% as we go to press.



Washington (36-21-6-4, 32-35 ATS for plus-7.36 units) made a couple of
smaller moves, adding defenseman Tim Gleason and left winger Curtis
Glencross. But the Caps should have the advantage in this matchup; the
Rangers will get no rest after visiting the New York Islanders Tuesday
night. The Blueshirts are also still without starting goaltender Henrik
Lundqvist (.922 save percentage) because of a strained neck, although
Cam Talbot (.921 SV%) has played well in reserve.
