The Washington Capitals wrapped up their regular season with an MSG matchup against the New York Rangers. 15 games on tap around the league and plenty still to solve in terms of playoff matchups.
No score in the first frame. Filip Chytil slipped a shot by Ilya Samsonov to open the scoring. Justin Schultz tallied on the next shift to tie the game back up. John Carlson blasted the Caps into the lead with a power-play strike. Alexis Lafreniere finished the high-scoring second with a goal to tie it once more.

The Washington Capitals will have their final opportunity to move up in the Eastern Conference on the final day of their regular season. A win and a Pittsburgh regulation loss mean the Caps avoid the Florida Panthers in the first round.
No Alex Ovechkin again and no Nicklas Backstrom either. Ilya Samsonov will be the starter in net.
