Stats
1) Brassard and Stepan have combined to win 15 of 21 faceoffs for the Rangers.
2) Kreider's ice time now at 4:05, lowest of any player in this game.
3) Del Zotto actually leads the Rangers with five hits. Huh?
4) Girardi with four shots on goal, Pyatt with three. Huh?
5:33: Faceoff starts as I get confronted on Facebook by someone who needs to go away. Ovechkin powers to the net and Henrik stops his shot attempt.
5:35: Rangers get a power play as Ward shoves down Derek Dorsett into the Washington net. Dangerous.
5:36: Callahan and Nash with a 2-on-1, but Holtby stops the captain. Both players still scoreless in this series.
5:37: Power play fails. The Rangers are 0-for-5. The odd-man rush was really their only good opportunity too. 12:00 to go.
5:38: Tortorella stops a wide-open Ribero on the backhand. Commercial time. Just waiting for Washington to get a power play.
5:42: Capitals poke away, but Henrik stones them again! Game has gone by fast, but now it's gonna take forever. 10 minutes left...a second goal would be beyond huge.
5:43: Lundqvist poke checks a puck away as Fehr had an excellent chance off a 2-on-1 with Ribiero.
5:48: Backstrom tried to set up Ovechkin, but Girardi blocks the pass, sliding on his stomach.
5:49: John Carlson's wicked slap shot is stopped by Henrik and cleared into the corner.
5:49: Jason Chimera blasts Anton Stralman into the boards. Ugh...
5:50: High sticking penalty on Washington! Dorsett slammed into the boards and while he's on his knees, Mike Green cross checks him in the mouth. Power play! An opportunity to put it away.
5:53: Nothing happens.
5:53: Fehr storms down, gets off a hard wrist shot, that Henrik snatches with his left glove! Crowd goes wild! 3:48 left.
5:56: Zuccarello clears the zone with 2:30 left. Surprised to see him on the ice this late.
5:57: Washington pass from the goal line deflected by Pyatt out of the zone. Net is empty! 1:15 to go!!!!
5:58: Ovechkin tries to baseball swing the puck in on the backhand. Save by Lundqvist! 45 seconds...
5:59: Carlson's slapper blocked by Cally and goes right back to him.
5:59: Green with a slapper...blocked by...who else? Callahan!
6:00: Five seconds left! Carlson with one more shot. Save by Lundqvist! He kicks it right into the corner!
6:00: Rangers win! We have Game 7 Monday night!
6:01: We have a brawl. Refs quickly break it up.
6:03: Rangers salute the crowd.
