Capitals Down Rangers and Pull Closer to Islanders
WASHINGTON - How badly did Evgeny Kuznetsov want to win on Sunday? He was even willing to get in Alex Ovechkin's way. Kuznetsov scored at 4 minutes 20 seconds of overtime, just beating his star teammate's stick to the puck, and the Washington Capitals defeated the Rangers, 6-5, in their return from their longest road trip this season.

Emotional day as Rangers trade Zuccarello to Stars for two picks
Let the moves begin. The New York Rangers started their trade deadline maneuvers by sending winger Mats Zuccarello to the Stars, according to TSN. The return is two conditional draft picks - a second-rounder in 2019 that would become a first-rounder if Dallas wins two playoff rounds (unlikely); and a third-rounder in 2020 that becomes a first-rounder if Dallas resigns the pending unrestricted free agent.

Islanders Fan Savagely Attacks Rangers Fan Outside Madison Square Garden

In a city with two teams in every major professional sport, rivalries don't get more intense than the one between New York's two hockey clubs, and their die-hard fans.
The conflict has been pretty one-sided lately, as the Rangers were win-less in their last eight contests against their crosstown rivals, including a 7-5 loss to the Islanders last week in Brooklyn.
On Wednesday, the Rangers got a little revenge with a blowout win over the Islanders at Madison Square Garden.
Apparently, this was a little too much for one Islanders fan to handle, and he took his frustrations out on a Rangers fan by slicing him up like a New York pizza.
According to Fox News, the incident occurred at approximately 9:45 PM, as patrons were exiting the arena. A witness reported that a man wearing an Islanders jersey pulled out a knife and slashed a Rangers fan in the face and neck.
“It was two guys in hockey jerseys fighting it out. One was cutting the other. When we got there, he was bleeding and he was down.” said an MSG security guard.
“He was down and out,” added another witness. “He was bleeding from his nose to his cheek. Someone was holding his neck steady while another guy called 911.”
The alleged attacker, who was not identified in reports, was arrested. His motives for the attack remain unknown. The victim was taken to the hospital, and his condition was not immediately known.
Hockey is often criticized as being too violent of a sport, but the on-ice mischief is nothing compared to some of the antics you'll see in the stands (and elsewhere). This is just a sad commentary on the current state of sports fans.

John Carlson posted a goal and two assists and Alex Ovechkin scored two power-play goals to carry Washington. Nicklas Backstrom had two assists and Braden Holtby finished with 29 saves.

“I thought we played pretty well, but I don’t think we played winning hockey enough throughout the game,’’ Quinn said. “There’s a difference between playing well and playing winning hockey.’’

Espositio said at the time that he was interested in Gretzky but that once they started discussing terms he lost interest.

The 75-year-old Lamoriello will hold the title of president of hockey operations. Son Chris Lamoriello has been the team's assistant general manager since 2016.
He comes to a team that has missed the playoffs eight of the last 12 seasons. Recalling the team's glory days from a generation ago, Lamoriello said he is "excited to join such a storied franchise."
It was not immediately clear how the move will affect current president and general manager Garth Snow. He has four years left on his contract. Lamoriello's hiring was first reported by The Athletic, which said Snow's deal has a "steep buyout."

NHL ECF: Capitals Heading Home with Commanding 2-0 Series Lead Over Lightning

Matthew Paras, The Washington Times
TAMPA — The Capitals could have blamed a lousy call from the referees, or even used Nicklas Backstrom’s hand injury as an excuse. On Sunday, there were plenty of moments when it might have been understandable if Washington had allowed the Tampa Bay Lightning back into the series.
But these Capitals didn’t let up. They didn’t relax. And now, with a 6-2 win in Game 2, they return to the District with a commanding 2-0 series lead — halfway to moving on to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Sunday’s contest turned late in the second period when Lars Eller scored from the slot to put the Capitals up 3-2.
Seconds later, Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy was called for tripping forward Andre Burakovsky, and — like Alex Ovechkin’s one-timer in Game 1 — the Capitals took advantage of a penalty with time winding down. This time it was center Evgeny Kuznetsov who fired a shot at the net that deflected off Vasilevskiy and slipped under the goalie and into the net.
