Laviolette on upcoming matchup against Washington
Capitals looking to avoid sweep
Rangers looking to avoid elimination
The Washington Capitals will face the New York Rangers in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference First Round series on Tuesday night. The Capitals lead the series 3-0 and are looking to sweep the Rangers. The Rangers are looking to avoid elimination and force a Game 5.
The Capitals have been the better team in the series so far. They have outplayed the Rangers in all three games and have deserved to win each one. The Rangers have been outshot in each game and have not been able to generate much offense. They have also been undisciplined, taking several penalties that have cost them.
The Rangers will need to play a much better game on Tuesday night if they want to avoid elimination. They will need to be more disciplined and they will need to generate more offense. They will also need to find a way to slow down Alexander Ovechkin, who has been a one-man wrecking crew for the Capitals in this series.
The Capitals will be looking to close out the series on Tuesday night. They will be confident after winning the first three games, but they will know that the Rangers are a dangerous team that can win any game. The Rangers will be desperate to avoid elimination and they will be playing with nothing to lose. This should be a very interesting game.
