Post Game Recap: Caps 5 Rangers 2

The Caps bounced back after a tough loss in Buffalo Saturday with a strong win against the Rangers on Sunday. The Caps are now up 18 points in the Metro Division.

My thoughts: 

*Justin Williams had his 2nd hat trick in his career. Williams has been great for this team on and off the ice this season. 

*Marcus Johansson scored on the power play off a great pass by Nick Backstrom. Marcus has been quietly having a good season this year.

*Braden Holtby left the game late in the second period as he was experiencing dehydration. Philipp Grubauer came in and took care of business from there.

*Evgeny Kuznetsov keeps humming along as he had a 3 assist night.

*Alex Ovechkin scored as well yesterday, OV has been great against the Rangers this season. 

*Overall it was nice to see the Caps respond from a rare bad performance on Saturday. They have now beaten the Rangers the last 3 times they have met.
