NHL playoff schedule 2017: Capitals, Rangers look for redemption in Game 2

Six NHL conference semifinals have passed, and we have yet to watch a snoozer.

Both Game 2s on Friday in the Western Conference ended with last-ditch scrambles for a tying goal. We can only hope the two Eastern Conference games on Saturday offer the same spectacle.

Who are we kidding? Of course they will. We get started with the Rangers visiting the Senators for Game 2, down 1-0. That game ended with a fun finish as well, but the narrative afterward was how the Senators didn’t sell out a playoff game.

Thank goodness.

Then the nightcap: the Penguins looking to build on a 1-0 series lead against the Capitals in D.C. Sidney Crosby’s two goals were the deciding factor in Game 1, not to mention the best 20 seconds of hockey this year.
