Capitals stay alive in playoff race with win over Penguins
Connor McMichael scored twice and Logan Thompson made 24 saves as Washington earned a 3-0 win to stay in the playoff race.
- On Sunday, the Washington Capitals defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0, with goaltender Logan Thompson posting his fourth shutout of the season by stopping 24 shots.
- The 100th career meeting between Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby took place Sunday, as the Penguins' "Big Three"—Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang—returned after missing Saturday's game.
- Defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk scored the game's first goal, while Connor McMichael added two goals, including an empty-netter with three minutes remaining, recording his third three-point game of the season.
- To qualify for the playoffs, Washington must win Tuesday at Columbus while also needing Philadelphia to not earn two or more points in its final two games.
- Fans chanted "one more year" for Ovechkin during what may have been his final home game, though the captain has remained mum on his retirement plans until the offseason.
