NEW YORK, N.Y. - If Rangers coach John Tortorella was miffed in any way after New York's season-ending home loss to the Washington Capitals, he didn't show it.Washington scored three first-period goals and third-string goaltender Braden Holtby made 35 saves Saturday night to help the Capitals beat the Rangers 4-1, spoiling New York's chance to clinch the Presidents' Trophy.The hard-driving Tortorella chose instead to focus on myriad positives for the Rangers (51-24-7), who reached 109 points for the third time in franchise history but finished two behind Vancouver for the league's top spot. The Canucks beat Edmonton 3-0 later Saturday night."I'm glad the 82 games are done because now is when the real stuff starts," said Tortorella, who coached Tampa Bay to the Stanley Cup in 2004 but has yet to guide the Rangers past the first round of the playoffs. "I am really excited and I know our guys are too. Our team will be ready to play."New York will host the Ottawa Senators in the opening round of the playoffs, the first time since 1996 New York will have home ice in a post-season series. The Rangers have never met the current Senators — an expansion franchise in 1992-93 — in the post-season.The Capitals quieted the Madison Square Garden crowd quickly as Alex Ovechkin and Mathieu Perreault scored on Washington's first two shots against Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.Washington (42-32-8) finished with 92 points and will be the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Capitals will face the defending champion Boston Bruins in the opening round.The Florida Panthers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 to win the Southeast Division and will host New Jersey in the opening round. The Capitals, who would have won the division if the Panthers had lost,Nike Free Trainers 3.0 Mens Black Blue, clinched a playoff spot for the fifth straight year with their 4-2 win over Florida on Tuesday.Ovechkin got his 38th goal of the season just 32 seconds into the game after Brooks Laich won a faceoff and backhanded the puck back to Ovechkin, who fired a wrist shot past Lundqvist."We didn't want to finish in eighth place so we wanted to play a strong game, and we did," Ovechkin said.Perreault made it 2-0 at 2:18 of the first, tipping a Roman Hamrlik slapshot past Lundqvist. Defenceman John Carlson extended the lead to 3-0 with 1:47 to go in the period before Nicklas Backstrom scored his 14th at 5:58 of the second to complete Washington's scoring.The goal was Backstrom's first since Dec. 30. The centre had missed 40 games with concussion symptoms,Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Mens Black Grey, returning to the Capitals' lineup March 31."It feels great to contribute tonight and we're eager for the playoffs to start,Nike Free Run 3 Womens Pink Green," Backstrom said.
