Alex Ovechkin’s 888th career goal was one of three Capitals tallies as Washington (46-15-8, 100 points) withstood a Philadelphia rally and became the first team to clinch a berth into the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Capitals, who clinched the final berth in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs during a chaotic 15-minute sequence on the day they played their last game (also vs. PHI), became the first club since 1979-80 to go from being the last team to clinch a playoff spot in one season to the first to do so the following campaign.
The #stanleycup Playoffs start on April 19 on TNT, ESPN, Sportsnet and TVA Sports
