Plus: The Washington Capitals are in a playoff spot for the first time since January 2. The 2023-2024 Washington Capitals are in a playoff spot.
Minus: Does anyone know what goaltender interference is? No? Cool, just thought we’d check. RIP to Charlie Lindgren’s 89:30, 37-save shutout streak.
Key Moment: Alex Ovechkin’s second (power play) goal of the game put the Capitals up 3-0, and it ended up being the game-winner. After 19 seasons, you’d think teams would stop leaving him so wide open on the man-advantage…
Caps Player of the Game: After scoring career goals 842 and 843, it has to be Ovechkin.
