With their bite-the-nails-to-their-nubs 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers Tuesday night, the Capitals returned to the NHL postseason, nabbing the final wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference, essentially winning Game 7 of Round 0.
A team that dealt with underperformance, injury, and significant changes managed to secure a playoff spot by winning their last three games in four days, showing resilience and belief.
"We enjoyed that process. It's special. That's why we play hockey," said Alex Ovechkin, highlighting the team's enjoyment, belief, and camaraderie during the challenging season.
