The Washington Capitals clinched a playoff berth with a -37 goal differential, the worst since 1991, showcasing the peculiar nature of their 2023-24 season.
Capitals fans find humor in the fact that their team made the playoffs despite the poor goal differential, even celebrating it with merchandise.
History shows better goal differentials usually lead to more wins and playoff berths, making the Capitals' achievement unique in the league.
The 2011-12 Panthers previously held the record for the worst goal differential among playoff teams in the salary cap era, until the 2023-24 Capitals surpassed them.
