New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - Tom Poti notched a goal and three assists to register a playoff career high for points and rookie Simeon Varlamov continued his strong play in net with 29 saves, as the Washington Capitals posted a dominating 5-3 win against the Rangers in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference quarterfinal set at Madison Square Garden. Alex Ovechkin, Mike Green, Milan Jurcina and Viktor Kozlov also found the back of the net for the second- seeded Capitals, who evened the series at three games apiece and will look to complete a comeback from a 3-1 series deficit in Tuesday's decisive Game 7 at Verizon Center in the nation's capital. The Capitals have only rallied from a 3-1 series deficit to win on one occasion, the 1988 Patrick Division semifinals against the Flyers. Washington is also trying to win its first playoff series since it made a run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1998. Poti's goal was his second of the series, the first time he's had multiple goals in a playoff campaign over five previous appearances. His three assists were also a career playoff high. The Rangers, meanwhile, have not lost a series in which they took three of the first four games in franchise history. Scott Gomez, Ryan Callahan and Marc Staal tallied the goals for the seventh-seeded Rangers, who have been outscored 9-3 in dropping the last two games.

Final Score: Carolina 4, New Jersey 0
