VIDEO: Raanta's diving stick save prevents Mike Richards' 1st Capitals' goal

Mike Richards came within an inch of scoring his first goal with the Washington Capitals.

New York Rangers goaltender Antti Raanta denied the veteran forward with a sprawling stick save Sunday, and the puck straddled the goal line but somehow stayed out.

It was Richards' second game with the Capitals, who signed him to a one-year deal earlier this month.

Justin Williams notched a hat trick Sunday, leading Washington to a 5-2 win.
