The Washington Capitals put a ding in their draft lottery chances on Monday night when they took down the playoff-hopeful New York Islanders 5-2. In the process, they also helped the Pittsburgh Penguins out massively in terms of their postseason chances.
That all sounds terrible to me.

The Washington Capitals had a chance to put a dent in the Florida Panthers’ playoff hopes on Saturday and balked at the opportunity. The 4-2 loss changed nothing in the Eastern Conference wild-card postseason picture which is bad news for Pittsburgh Penguins fans.
Great news for the rest of humanity though.

The Washington Capitals dropped their fourth game in a row on Sunday afternoon in a 5-2 loss to the New York Rangers. They now have just five games remaining on their schedule where they will hopefully keep losing and improve their draft pick.
That’s just the truth right now.

The Washington Capitals made the trip down to Tampa for the second half of a back-to-back with travel and it went just about as expected. Not well. The Caps fell 5-1 and were never once really in the game.
Can we start talking about the lottery more seriously now?

The Washington Capitals hosted the New York Islanders at Capital One Arena on Wednesday night and it wasn’t the prettiest hockey game in the world. Just two total goals between the two sides in regulation brought things to overtime and eventually a shootout which New York prevailed in.
At least the OT period was fun.

Bummer.

Touchdown.
