The Capitals initially took the lead with Anthony Mantha's goal at 4:12 of the second period. However, the Rangers responded, and K'Andre Miller tied the game at 7:03 with a well-executed give-and-go play with Mika Zibanejad, finishing with a backhand shot.
Artemi Panarin put the Rangers ahead with a power-play goal at 12:08 of the second period. Braden Schneider quickly added another goal just 40 seconds later to increase the lead to 3-1.
