The Rangers’ measure of revenge came on the courtesy of their fists and not the scoreboard on Wednesday.
In a 4–2 loss to the Capitals two days after Tom Wilson had to show his way cheaply against the Blueshirts, the teams took part in a wild rematch at the Gardens Which included six first-term fights And a total of 141 penalty minutes.
Wilson and his teammates were forced to respond to kill a defenseless Pavel Buchaniewicz and threw Artemi Panarin into the ice on Monday, resulting in Wilson receiving a fine of just $ 5,000 from the NHL.
“I definitely think we felt the need to take matters into our own hands,” Rangers coach David Quinn said.
Washington not only engaged voluntarily, but also won home thanks to TJ Oishi’s hat trick.
Rangers rookie Morgan Barone netted his first NHL goal in a loss, netting his second big league helper with defenseman Zac Jones on play within minutes of the third.
Alexis Lafreniore scored the second goal for New York.
