With 15 games left, the Washington Capitals lead the Eastern Conference, giving head coach Spencer Carbery flexibility to manage players' workloads. He aims to integrate Alexeyev and McIlrath back into the lineup after their lengthy absences. Carbery acknowledges the challenges of load management, especially as the schedule intensifies in April. Additionally, Alex Ovechkin is close to breaking the NHL goals record, adding more excitement to the remainder of the season as the Capitals prepare for the playoffs.
"I would be shocked if those guys aren't playing some games down the stretch here," he continued. "So that is a goal and an objective."
"The schedule right now is okay, and it'll get pretty hectic at the beginning of April, where we've got a three in four, and then we go one day, and then we play again."
"I think the bigger concern for me right now is -and you always say this - is trying to get some games for Alexeyev and Dylan McIlrath and how that works."
