Capitals do just enough to beat Flyers and qualify for playoffs: numbers for the morning after
Briefly

The Capitals really didn't play all that well in this game outside of the first period, but they closed up shop around Charlie Lindgren well enough to eke out another one-goal victory. Spencer Carbery went with Charlie Lindgren on back-to-back days, and his goaltender rewarded him with two stellar outings.
Alex Ovechkin scored the lone goal for the Capitals, marking his 853rd career goal, leaving him 41 goals behind Wayne Gretzky at the start of the next season.
In his first season as head coach, Spencer Carbery led the Capitals to a playoff berth with a record of 40-31-11, an 11-point improvement from the previous season.
John Carlson played over 29 minutes on back-to-back nights, highlighting his vital role as the Capitals' top defenseman, despite occasional questionable plays.
