Rangers lose third straight as Capitals take it to…
WASHINGTON — The Capitals bought their licks back on the Rangers.
Just over a week after the Blueshirts throttled them inside Capital One Arena, Washington returned the favor and handed the guests a 6-3 loss Wednesday afternoon.
It counted as the Rangers’ third loss in a row.
Despite a two-point efficiency from Adam Fox in his return to the lineup, the Rangers let the Caps blow the sport open in the third period.
Just as one injury concern went away, however, two more popped up.

Both Noah Laba and Conor Sheary exited the sport in the second period with an injury.
Laba was being evaluated for an upper-body injury he sustained on a hit from Tom Wilson, who posted two targets, an help and a struggle with Sam Carrick just hours after studying he made Team Canada’s Olympic roster.
