With a solid 12-point lead in the Eastern Conference, the Washington Capitals, coached by Spencer Carbery, are preparing for the playoffs well in advance. Unlike the previous season when every game was crucial, their current position allows them to focus on strategies to ensure momentum heading into the postseason. Carbery emphasizes maintaining urgency while feeling relieved about their playoff security, highlighting a rare opportunity to make decisions aimed at long-term success as they approach the playoffs.
We still feel like we want to play with urgency and desperation inside of our game, but in the same sentence, it's nice that we are solidified, essentially, in a playoff spot.
...it’s a luxury, without a doubt. Now it’s on us as a staff to best utilize that.
We can make decisions that will set Washington up to be ultra-prepared when the playoffs begin.
