Alex Ovechkin was non-factor against the Rangers and was called out by Spencer Carbery

Alex Ovechkin has been missing in action in the first two games of the playoff series against the Rangers. The Rangers took a 2-0 lead after Tuesday’s 4-3 win at the Garden. The Capitals’ star has been a non-factor in the opening two games.

The way Mika Zibanejad has played and how the Rangers have limited Alex Ovechkin are big reasons New York has a 2-0 series lead against the Capitals.

Rangers must find way to slow down rejuvenated Alex Ovechkin. Capitals star, 38, is still scoring goals and remains a threat to wreck a game for the opposition. Rangers must find a way to stop him from scoring goals in his 19th NHL season.
