After making a number of transactions prior to the trade deadline that appeared to represent a surrender of this season, Washington performed better than anticipated.
If the Capitals want to make the playoffs, they still have teams to pass, but it might be difficult.

The Blueshirts will benefit greatly from that as well as playing at home. This season, the Rangers have a 17-11-4 record at Madison Square Garden while the Capitals have a lot of problems to fix.
