The Washington Capitals are the top team in the NHL after defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 on Sunday. Washington has beaten the two best teams in the league in consecutive games. Sunday’s loss was only Carolina’s second at home this season.
The victory gave the Caps 33 standings points on the season. They now lead tied-for-second Carolina, Florida, and Toronto by two.
The Capitals celebrated their W by posting a screenshot of the standings and teasing a meme fan account that was like Tony DeAngelo’s purported burner account.
