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

Peter Solari, Editor in Chief Follow @4PeteSakeNY
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.
