In their previous three games, the New York Rangers have seen some outstanding performances from their players. One standout player has been Chris Kreider, who plays as a forward.

Another player to watch out for is defenseman Braden Schneider. Although he hasn't recorded any points in the last three games, Schneider has displayed solid defensive skills. He has been a key contributor to the team's success with his physicality and ability to disrupt opponents' plays.


Tyler Pitlick, a forward for the Rangers, has also made an impact in recent games. Despite not scoring any goals or assists, Pitlick has taken 5 shots on goal and showcased his offensive prowess. His presence on the ice adds depth to the team's forward line.


On the other side of the ice, the Washington Capitals have their own set of top performers. Evgeny Kuznetsov, a forward for the Capitals, has been exceptional in his last three games. Although he hasn't found the back of the net yet, Kuznetsov has contributed with 3 assists, showcasing his playmaking abilities.


Defenseman John Carlson has also been impressive for Washington. In addition to his solid defensive play, Carlson has recorded 3 assists in the last three games. His ability to contribute offensively from the blue line adds an extra dimension to the Capitals' attack.


In goal, Charlie Lindgren has been outstanding for the Capitals. With a save percentage of 0.950 and only allowing 1 goal in his last game, Lindgren has proven to be a reliable presence between the pipes.
