In a game where both teams needed to shake off the rust from the Christmas layoff, the Blueshirts were shut out for just the second time this season in a 4-0 loss to the Capitals.
The Rangers have stumbled out of the holiday break.
This was one of those games in which the referees’ presence was felt. One phantom call after the next, followed by one missed call after the next. Zero consistency and zero precedent, however, are the ways of NHL officiating. This is nothing new. It just happened to have a notable impact on Tuesday’s matchup.
Alex Ovechkin celebrates after Erik Gustaffson scores a goal on Igor Shesterkin during the Rangers’ 4-0 loss to the Capitals.Still, Washington made the five-on-three advantage count and pulled ahead 1-0 at 8:44 of the opening frame. The most egregious officiating blunder of the evening was certainly on the Capitals’ second goal, which the Rangers challenged for goalie interference. Washington had the numbers in the offensive zone and Gustafsson buried the puck on a rebound while Conor Sheary clearly skated into the blue paint and made contact with Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin’s pad.Ref Michael Markovic skated to the center of the ice and proclaimed there was no contact.
