Inside the matchup: Rangers vs. Capitals
Cold Hard Facts looks at the Wednesday Night Rivalry between the New York Rangers and Washington Capitals in Tale of the Tape fashion.

The New York Rangers can take over first place in the Metropolitan Division by defeating the Washington Capitals in the Wednesday Night Rivalry game (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, SN1, TVA Sports).

The Rangers will be playing the second half of a back-to-back after edging the first-place New York Islanders 2-1 on Tuesday, a victory that moved them within one point of the division lead with four games in hand. The Capitals are well-rested; they've been off since defeating the Buffalo Sabres 6-1 on Saturday.

Though the season is past the three-quarters mark, this is New York's first visit to Washington and the second game between the Rangers and Capitals. They'll play at Madison Square Garden on March 29 and end the season against each other at Verizon Center on April 11.
