Washington Capitals clinch William M. Jennings Trophy

The William M. Jennings Trophy is awarded each season to the goalies (minimum 25 games) of the team who allows the fewest goals in the NHL. For the second time in franchise history, the Washington Capitals will win it. Though the Caps lost 2-0 to the Florida Panthers in the last regular season game, their 182 goals allowed are the fewest in the league. In fact, they won the Jennings by 13 goals. The next closest team were the Columbus Blue Jackets with 195 goals.

Braden Holtby will be the lone recipient, as Philip Grubauer came two appearances short of qualifying.
