WASHINGTON (AP) — Logan Thompson probably made dozens of saves in these playoffs tougher than this one — a shot by Andre Svechnikov from a severe angle that knocked Washington out of the postseason.
In the end, though, that was part of the reason the Capitals couldn't give Carolina a tougher series. With Alex Ovechkin and his teammates struggling to score, a few too many low-percentage shots went in for the Hurricanes.
The final one came off Svechnikov's stick late in the third period of Game 5 on Thursday night.
