BREAKING: Alexander Ovechkin Has Left The Washington Capitals For Personal Reasons
The Washington Capitals are apart of the NHL's Metropolitan divison playoff race that is now consisting of over five teams, the Capitals hold the Metro's #1 wildcard spot, but have the Pittsburgh Penguins behind them trailing just one point. The Florida Panthers and New York Islanders are also chasing the #1 wild card spot, both teams just two points away.
