The New York Rangers enter the contest with a 4-1-0 record. Their season opened with a loss to the Bruins on the road, but they have won their subsequent four games without requiring overtime. The team has scored 3.20 goals per game while allowing only 1.60 goals per game. Among their recent victories are wins over the Lightning, Red Wings, Mammoth, and Islanders, with the Rangers winning all three of those specific matchups by at least two goals.

The Washington Capitals have played three games this season and hold a 2-1 record. They lost their road matchup against the Lightning by a final score of 3-1. Their two victories came against the Hurricanes and the Penguins. The Capitals are playing their second consecutive home game following a 5-3 win over Pittsburgh. Despite their winning record in the short span, the Capitals have allowed 2.67 goals per game. They have scored five goals in their two wins and one goal in their loss. The team is allowing six more shots per game than it is taking, increasing the number of attempts faced by their goaltender.

New York forward Alexis Lafreniere has recorded three goals and two assists in his first five games of the season. He tied for second on the Rangers in points last season. In his career, Lafreniere has played the Capitals 26 times, posting nine goals and five assists against them.
