WASHINGTON -- Well, the fans here have a sense of humor. A half-dozen Caps fans sitting behind the Rangers bench Tuesday night were wearing red rain ponchos. Nice.
It was a play on the Game 5 incident, of course, where New York coach John Tortorella threw a water bottle at a fan and got suspended one game for it by the NHL.
As for the lineups tonight, Russian rookie call-up Artem Anisimov is indeed in the lineup for the injured Blair Betts. Anisimov had 37 goals in the AHL this season.
On the Washington side, captain Chris Clark returned to the lineup after missing three months with a wrist injury. He replaced suspended tough guy Donald Brashear.
