Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi have been getting the top defensive assignments for the New York Rangers for years. In the opening round of the playoffs, they were asked to shut down Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Alexander Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom of the Washington Capitals came in the second round. In the Eastern Conference finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning, they have drawn ''The Triplets,'' instead of the more well-known line featuring star Steven Stamkos.
