Capitals vs Bruins: Raffl’s First Goal With Capitals Seals Last-Second Win

The last game of the season, one that meant absolutely nothing in terms of standings, with the Bruins sitting just about all of the starters, and the Capitals missing Evgeny Kuznetsov, TJ Oshie, and John Carlson… yeah it wasn’t the most exciting game. But a full game by Alex Ovechkin for the first time in a long time and a last-second winner by an unexpected source salvaged it a bit as the Caps head into the postseason on a high(ish) note.

Plus: The Capitals got through the game without any major injuries. Four players scared us to death with what looks like injuries but everyone finished the game on their own two feet.

Minus: Ovechkin didn’t score six goals to reach 30 but he did get four shots, a couple of them high danger.

A few more notes on the game:

And that’s all she wrote for the regular season. Saturday the playoffs get underway against these Bruins, and everything is going to be ramped up (to say nothing of the fact that they’ll actually have NHLers in the lineup). The Capitals will have to bring everything they have to beat the guys in gold and black.
