Artemi Panarin, Rangers Championed By NHL Fans for Sweeping Alex Ovechkin, Capitals

The New York Rangers are the first team to advance in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

After taking the first three games of the series against the Washington Capitals, New York finished the job Sunday with a 4-2 victory.

It was the first series sweep for the Rangers since 2007, when it swept the Atlanta Thrashers in the first-round.

The Presidents Trophy winners did not take long to get the game going as Kaapo Kakko scored the first goal of the game within the first minute.
