The Washington Capitals expressed frustration after the latest injurious hit by New York Rangers rookie Matt Rempe, which took out defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk in Game 3 of their series on Friday night.

The Rangers won the game, 3-1, to take a 3-0 series lead in Washington.

With 7:52 left in the first period, van Riemsdyk skated deep into his defensive zone and moved the puck in the opposite direction. Rempe skated straight into him, crushing the defenseman against the end boards.
