KEY GAME INFORMATION

NY RANGERS: LAST SEASON: 45-31-6, 96 points. Finished 2nd in Metropolitan Division, 5th in Eastern Conference. Lost to Los Angeles Kings in Stanley Cup finals.
COACH: Alain Vigneault, 2nd season with Rangers (45-31-6); 13th overall in NHL (467-319-102).
ADDED: D Dan Boyle, D Mike Kostka, D Matt Hunwick, C Chris Mueller, LW Tanner Glass, G Cedrick Desjardins, C Matthew Lombardi, RW Lee Stempniak, LW Ryan Malone.
LOST: C Brad Richards, RW Derek Dorsett, C Brian Boyle, D Anton Stralman, LW Benoit Pouliot, D Justin Falk, RW Arron Asham, LW Daniel Carcillo, D Raphael Diaz, C Darroll Powe.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Rick Nash. The top forward will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing postseason in which the 2002 No. 1 draft notched only three goals and 10 points in 25 games and heard boos from the crowd. The 30-year-old left wing has come to training camp looking thinner and fitter as he heads into his third season with the Rangers. Nash has four seasons left for big money on his current contract, so there is plenty of time for him to win over the Madison Square Garden faithful.
OUTLOOK: The Rangers will go as far as goalie Henrik Lundqvist, ''The King,'' will take them. The team has undergone major changes since the run to the finals, but with the strong core of returning veterans such as Nash, Martin St. Louis, and defensemen Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh, fortified by newcomers Dan Boyle, Lee Stempniak and Ryan Malone, New York could again be a tough out in the playoffs. A new captain is expected to be announced at the start of the season to replace the trio of alternate captains that took leadership roles after former captain Ryan Callahan was traded to Tampa Bay late last season for St. Louis.

WASHINGTON: LAST SEASON: 38-30-14, 90 points. Missed the playoffs by finishing ninth in the Eastern Conference.
COACH: Barry Trotz, 1st season with Capitals; 16th overall in NHL, 557-479-60-100.
ADDED: Trotz, GM Brian MacLellan, D Brooks Orpik, D Matt Niskanen, G Justin Peters.
LOST: Coach Adam Oates, GM George McPhee, C Mikhail Grabovski, LW Dustin Penner, G Jaroslav Halak.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Alex Ovechkin, as always. The three-time league MVP led the NHL with 51 goals last season, but his plus-minus of minus-35 was third-worst in the league. Trotz plans to move Ovechkin back to left wing and also hopes to cajole more of a team game from the Russian forward.
OUTLOOK: It was deflating enough for the talented Capitals to lose in the early rounds of the playoffs every year, but last season they didn't make the postseason at all, a failure that cost Oates and McPhee their jobs. Orpik and Niskanen should stabilize the blue line, but nothing is more crucial in Washington than the relationship between Ovechkin and the coach du jour. Trotz is Ovechkin's first NHL head coach with prior head coaching experience elsewhere in the league, giving him the cachet to make demands of his players - and to expect them to be met.

PREVIEW

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER NHL PLAYOFF PREVIEW (NY RANGERS-WASHINGTON) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Rangers-Capitals Preview* ==========================

By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer

Ny Rangers At Washington, Game Six, 7:00 p.m. EDT

From two minutes away from elimination to two wins away from the Eastern Conference Finals, the Presidents' Trophy winners are still very much alive in their second-round tilt with the Washington Capitals.

Following a dramatic comeback win, the New York Rangers will look to again fend off the Capitals in Sunday night's Game 6, but must do so without home support as the series shifts back to Washington's Verizon Center.

New York was 1:41 away from a Game 5 defeat on Friday before Chris Kreider got the equalizer with a one-timer from the top of the circle. Captain Ryan McDonagh then beat Braden Holtby midway through overtime for a rousing 2-1 victory.

"The outcome speaks for itself," Kreider said. "It's the kind of game that sheds a few years off your life, though. It'd be nice if we can pop one in early, take the pressure off of (Henrik Lundqvist), off our `D,' off ourselves, off our fans, off our coaches."

Both goalies were again outstanding in what was New York's 12th consecutive one-goal postseason game, an NHL record. Holtby stopped 41 shots to lower his goals-against average to 1.36 in this series, while Lundqvist made 28 saves and allowed only Curtis Glencross to score on his own rebound following a breakaway.

The two netminders have stopped 296 of 311 shots for a combined .952 save percentage.

"This might be the best goaltending performance, from both goaltenders, that we've seen in the playoffs this year, and maybe in the last decade," coach Barry Trotz said.

It was an encouraging shift of fortunes for New York following back-to-back losses in Washington. Holtby, who proved nearly unbeatable with a .983 save percentage in Games 3 and 4 at home, dropped to 0-4 in potential series-clinching matchups with the Rangers.

The Capitals have been eliminated by New York in each of their last two postseason appearances, both in seven games. They are 2-8 in playoff games at New York since 2012, but a commanding 7-2 in Washington.

"We're OK right now," Trotz said. "We knew we'd see their best effort, and we did. I don't think they've seen ours yet.

"I think (Verizon Center) will be crazy. I ask them to give us all their energy and good vibes. It's a hard place to come into and win."

New York is all too familiar with desperate situations, going 12-3 in elimination games since 2012. The Rangers won two Game 7s last season, including a second-round road matchup with Pittsburgh in which they came back from a 3-1 series deficit, and they also took a Game 7 in Washington in 2013.

Lundqvist and the Rangers were on the opposite side of that equation in 2009, winning three of the first four games in a first-round series with the Capitals before eventually falling in seven.

"We are still alive," Lundqvist said. "Being in their shoes, we've been there. Going home now there is a lot of pressure for them. I know for sure they don't want to come back here for another game. So we'll try to use that to our advantage."

Alex Ovechkin, who scored highlight-reel goals in both Games 1 and 2, has been held without a point in each of the last three. Another point-free night on Sunday would be his longest drought since a four-game skid Nov. 29-Dec. 6.

NHL assist champion Nicklas Backstrom has no helpers in his last four games, the longest slump of his career in a single postseason.

New York's Rick Nash can set a season worst with his ninth straight game without a goal Sunday. Nash, who scored a career-high 42 this season, suffered a 14-game streak without a goal last postseason.
