The Rangers’ measure of revenge came courtesy of their fists and not the scoreboard on Wednesday.
In the 4-2 loss to the Capitals, which came two days after Tom Wilson cheap-shotted his way against the Blueshirts, the teams took part in a wild rematch at the Garden that included six first-period fights and totalled 141 penalty minutes.
Wilson and his teammates were forced to answer for his punching of a defenceless Pavel Buchnevich and throwing Artemi Panarin to the ice on Monday, which resulted in Wilson receiving just a $5,000 fine from the NHL.

Rangers rookie Morgan Barron notched his first NHL goal in the loss, with defenseman Zac Jones netting his second big-league helper on the play in the waning minutes of the third.
Alexis Lafreniere scored the other goal for New York.
