WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaving the ice and seeing the results of other games around the NHL after beating the Boston Bruins 2-0 on Monday night, Washington Capitals players took turns telling each other that it doesn’t matter.
“We take care of our business, we know where we’re going to be at,” goaltender Charlie Lindgren said after his 16-save shutout.
One more victory and they’re in the playoffs.
After John Carlson scored another big goal, Lindgren made one crucial stop after another and Nic Dowd sealed it with an empty-netter with 11.7 seconds left, a win at Philadelphia on Tuesday night would put Washington back in the playoffs, regardless of other results.
“It’s in our hands, and that’s the best way,” All-Star winger Tom Wilson said.
The Capitals, if they make it, would be the second wild card in the Eastern Conference after the New York Islanders clinched third place in the Metropolitan Division and face the Presidents’ Trophy-winning New York Rangers.
