Preview Roundups
April 29, 2017
NY Rangers at Ottawa 3:00 PM ET
Coach Guy Boucher has been trumpeting his team in the role of underdog in advance of its postseason series against the New York Rangers, but the play of the Ottawa Senators may force him to adopt a different tactic. The Senators look to hold serve at home and take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals series in Saturday's Game 2 against New York.
Pittsburgh at Washington 8:00 PM ET
With David Letterman rocking quite the playoff beard rinkside at the Verizon Center, the host Washington Capitals were trying to turn in a performance that would have been worthy of the former late-night talk show host's Top 10 after the opener of the Eastern Conference second-round series. Alas, the joke once again could be on the Presidents' Trophy-winning Capitals in Saturday's Game 2 should the perennial playoff underachievers fall to the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins again.
