Capitals @ Penguins Recap: Caps Drop Final Regular-Season Game, 5-2
Photo courtesy of the Washington CapitalsDid Alex Ovechkin score? Yes.
Plus: Even though he let in five goals, Clay Stevenson was great. He came up with a lot of big saves and the goals scored against him were goals not many, if any, goalies were going to stop.
Minus: There was a lot not to like about the Caps game, but the Caps were playing shorthanded, hurt and had nothing to play for besides not trying to get hurt. If this game meant something I imagine a lot more Caps would be playing and their effort would be through the roof. On to the playoffs!
