The Washington Capitals lost 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in their final game of the 2024-25 regular season, evening the series 2-2. Postgame, Capitals players seemed disinterested, focusing more on the upcoming playoff match against the Montreal Canadiens. Goaltender Clay Stevenson, making his NHL debut, had a challenging game with 33 saves on 38 shots. Despite the loss, Alex Ovechkin scored his 897th goal, ending the season with 44 goals. Tom Wilson assisted on the opening goal, continuing his point streak.
The Capitals weren't good in this game with their eyes already on the Montreal Canadiens. Still don't enjoy seeing them get out-attempted 27-7 and out-chanced 12-3 at five-on-five in the third period.
Clay Stevenson was the poor sacrificial lamb in his NHL debut, making 33 saves on 38 shots faced. I do wonder how Hershey feels seeing their two goaltenders called up to a less-than-invested Caps team.
