Going into Rangers vs Capitals Game 3, the Rangers have a 2-0 series lead after winning the first two games of this series on their home ice. The Rangers controlled the majority of those first two games without too much trouble. But things could change as this series shifts back to Washington, where the Capitals will aim to find some success on home ice to find their footing in this series and avoid a 3-0 deficit to the Rangers. The problem for the Capitals going into this contest is the fact that they just haven't been all that good at home this season. Washington is just three games above the .500 mark on home ice for the year. That will be a problem against a Rangers team that was effective on the road throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Look for the Rangers to get a win in this contest and to come out of Friday night with a 3-0 series lead over the Caps.
