"Less than five minutes had elapsed in the second period when the New York Rangers got their best scoring chance of the night. Artemi Panarin fed Mika Zibanejad on a two-on-one. Sliding in the way between Zibanejad and the yawning cage was the off-handed glove of Washington Capitals' goaltender Charlie Lindgren. By the time the final buzzer sounded, cementing a 1-0 Rangers loss, the two-on-one was just a bullet point in a long list of chances that should've gone in."
"New York dominated throughout. They led the Capitals in shot attempts in all three periods and outshot Washington 35-21, forcing Lindgren to make several key saves. The Rangers' onslaught began in the second half of the first period. As unbelievable as it sounds, Washington at one point held 62% of the game's total shot attempts and 67% of the expected goal share."
New York outshot Washington 35-21 and led in shot attempts across all three periods but lost 1-0. Charlie Lindgren made multiple crucial saves, including on a two-on-one, preserving the shutout. The Rangers controlled the second period, outshooting the Capitals 13-5 and creating five high-danger chances to Washington's zero in that frame. Earlier, Washington briefly held 62% of the game's shot attempts and 67% of the expected-goal share before New York tilted play. Several quality looks hit posts or were narrowly missed, and power-play opportunities produced multiple near-goal chances that went unrewarded.
