Injured Rangers forward Ryane Clowe is hoping he's able to play in Game 3 on Monday at MSG, according to an NHL.com report.

The Capitals lead the Rangers, 2-0, in the best-of-seven series.

"When I spoke to you guys [Friday] I said I wasn't ruling out that game and I'm not sure either [about Game 3], but it's a possibility," said Clowe, who has missed three straight games dating back to the last game of the regular season. "That's kind of where we're at right now."
