The Capitals can win the Metropolitan Division tonight with a win and an Islanders loss

After securing a playoff berth four days ago, the Washington Capitals can clinch the Metropolitan Division tonight.

It would be their fourth consecutive Metropolitan Division title and their ninth division title win in 12 seasons.

The Caps can win the Metro if these conditions are met:

The Capitals beat the Florida Panthers.
The New York Islanders lose to the Toronto Maple Leafs in regulation.

The Capitals could become the third team to win their division, with only the Central division remaining.

If the playoffs started today, the Capitals would play the first wildcard team, the Columbus Blue Jackets, in the first round. According to @IneffectiveMath, Columbus has a 53 percent chance of matching up against Washington again in the opening round.

Depending on how the last few games shake out, the Capitals could also end up playing the Pittsburgh Penguins, Carolina Hurricanes, or Montreal Canadiens.

Check top of GDT. It always shows the next DAY and DATE of the next game. Also, the Yahoo Sports app lets you set notifications. I get a 3 hour heads up for game times and another notification precisely at puck drop.

I am having a hard time getting excited for this game. Hope the Caps aren’t having the same problem. LETS GO CAPS!

I don't understand why Comcast can't have consistent sound. Even at home their sound goes from true Dolby Digital 5.1 to 2.0 stereo. This game is a DD 5.1 signal with only 2.0 channels containing any sound. BORING! and Cheap!
