Tom Wilson (Caps Outsider)
In a week that proved crucial in the East Division race, the Caps were depleted yet still managed to come away with six points to lock up the second seed.
The Caps opened their week in Madison Square Garden on Monday to face the New York Rangers in a game that sparked controversy throughout the week.
Washington was missing key players in each game this week which has created concern with the playoffs looming. Alex Ovechkin returned against the Rangers after missing four games due to a lower-body injury, but exited the game after just on eshift.
