Last season, Flyers were first team to have 10-game winning streak and miss the playoffs.
This season, they lost 10 in a row and made playoffs.

I do think the Caps will open the playoffs on Wednesday or Thursday. 😎
But I don't know which one. Will hinge upon opponent/building availability/and TV's wants and desires. twitter.com/CPark_1985/sta…by Mike Vogel via twitter 4/7/2018 10:55:06 PM -

Ovechkin needed only 2:21 wih which to score No. 48. Terrific cross-ice feed from Kuznetsov, and #Caps own a 1-0 lead. #CapsDevilsby Mike Vogel via twitter 4/7/2018 11:14:48 PM

I don't know if Ovechkin is going to get to 50 tonight, but I have a feeling his arms will be tired from shooting by the end of this game regardless.by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/7/2018 11:17:51 PM

Some players need rest more than others.
I think Ovechkin would have played tonight regardless of how many goals he has because playing in all 82 games is a point of pride for a lot of players. twitter.com/NedExit98/stat…by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/7/2018 11:22:00 PM -
New Jersey ties it up with 11:50 remaining in the 1st. 1-1 game. #CapsDevils #ALLCAPSby Washington Capitals via twitter 4/7/2018 11:24:21 PM

Hischier ties it for Devils
That's No. 20 of season for the rookie.by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/7/2018 11:24:46 PM -
Devils tie it at 8:10 of the first. Hischier with too much time/space in front, and Maroon makes nice play from behind the net to feed him. #CapsDevilsby Mike Vogel via twitter 4/7/2018 11:25:04 PM
