After winning their first ever Stanley Cup in 2018, the Washington Capitals have suffered not one, not two but three straight first round exits. Their latest one being a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Boston Bruins.
After winning the first game in overtime, the Caps thought they had an advantage on them. But since that miraculous win, the Caps have dropped four straight games including Game 5 on home ice to end their season.
It’s like something from that year seemed to elude them from this year.
