This is it. This is the final stretch of the regular– sorry, #rego– season. From here until the 11th, the Caps will face a gauntlet of tough teams, all of whom are in the playoff race. We begin tonight with the Montreal Canadiens. If the playoff started today, two things would be true:
(Also you’d be Australian, I guess.)
A ton of stuff can and will change between now and the final game of the season, especially if you look at the Metro standings, but I like the way it all looks. Puck drops at 7:30 PM on CSN.
Team | Record | Possession | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |
Washington Capitals | 42-25-10 | 52.0% | 100.2 | 24.4% | 82.0% |
Montreal Canadiens | 47-22-8 | 48.4% | 101.5 | 16.4% | 84.0% |
No changes. Never any changes, from Prewitt.
Ovechkin — Kuznetsov — Ward
Johansson — Backstrom — Brouwer
Chimera — Fehr — Laich
Glencross — Latta — Wilson
Orpik – Carlson
Alzner – Niskanen
Green – Gleason

Those are all playoff teams or playoff bubble teams. This thing won’t be decided until oxt Saturday afternoon.
All of a sudden, the Metro is tight. The Caps are one point behind the Islanders and the Penguins with the same number of regulation-overtime wins. Wow.
