Caps vs. Panthers Recap: Cats Claw Caps 2-0 in Final Game

The Capitals concluded their 2016-2017 regular season campaign on Sunday night, falling to the golf course-bound Florida Panthers 2-0 at Verizon Center.

Here's Sunday night's Plus/Minus:

Plus: Garrett Mitchell, longtime Hershey Bears captain and beloved solider in the organization, got his first ever call up to the NHL tonight in the final game of the season. It meant a lot to just about everyone alive. More on that below.

Minus: You hate to end the regular season on a loss, but nobody got injured, nobody defected for the KHL, and nobody revealed themselves to secretly be Lord Voldemort in a school boy’s body.
