“Washington Capitals “During the last game of the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season, I met “Philadelphia Flyers ” The match took place at the Wells Fargo Center and ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of Washington.
Philadelphia scored first, but the referees overturned the goal after a video review. At the end of the first period, the Washington striker scored Alexander Ovechkin , for whom this goal was the 31st of the season and the 853rd of his career. Alexander is now 41 goals behind the leader in this indicator, Wayne Gretzky (894).
In the second period, Eric Johnson tied the score and Russian defender Egor Zamula assisted. This is his 21st point this season (5+16). Late in the third period, Philadelphia replaced the goaltender with a sixth outfield player and missed an empty net after a TJ Oshie shot.
Thanks to this victory, Washington scored 91 points in 82 games and earned the right to participate in the playoffs. The Capitals will face the New York Rangers in the first round.
