— The kids are proving to be more than all right at just the right time for theAlexis Lafrenière and Kaapo Kakko scored goals just over two minutes apart, jumpstarting a 5-2 victory at the Washington Capitals on Sunday to snap a two-game skid. With the playoffs starting in a couple of weeks, the so-called"Kid Line" is heating up and again could be a difference maker on a long run this spring.
The trio of 21-year-old Lafrenière, 22-year-old Kakko and 23-year-old Filip Chytil produced offense for the third time in four games. Chytil, who recently signed a $17.5 million, four-year extension, assisted on Lafrenière's goal to pick up his fifth point in five games. Igor Shesterkin made 26 saves, including several big ones to continue rounding into form just over two weeks before the first round begins. Chants of"Igor! Igor!" echoed around the arena filled with Rangers blue several times after the reigning Vezina Trophy winner kept the puck out of the net on the way to his 35th victory this season.
Rangers fans had plenty to cheer, from Lafrenière's dazzling move around Rasmus Sandin to goals by defenseman K'Andre Miller, trade deadline pickup Vladimir Tarasenko and then Zibanejad. The Rangers moved three points back of the rival New Jersey Devils for second place in the Metropolitan Division with five games to play.
