Was that the last home game the Washington Capitals will play this season?
That question could have taken on a more dubious sentiment at earlier points of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The team has fallen behind in every series they’ve played — it often felt like another early exit was on the horizon when the Blue Jackets, the Penguins and the Lightning were in town.
Instead, when the Capitals hit the ice at Capital One Arena on Monday night, they ensured their most important two-game homestand of the year was also their most dominant. The 6-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 4 means that the Capitals are just one win away from lifting the Stanley Cup.
