"The Caps will sit out this postseason for the first time since 2023, and there are any number of reasons why - but also plenty of reason for optimism."
"We don't know if last night was it for the Caps' captain...but that's not going to stop any of us from reflecting on the incredible legacy he will leave behind whenever he calls it a career."
The Capitals concluded their season with a win in Game 82 but failed to secure a playoff spot. There is significant discussion surrounding Alex Ovechkin's future and the legacy he will leave behind. The team is expected to maintain its offseason strategy regardless of Ovechkin's decision to return. This marks the first time since 2023 that the Capitals will not participate in the postseason, although there are reasons for optimism moving forward. Additionally, NHL goalies have experienced a notable decline in save percentages this season.
