How Saturday’s games will determine the Caps’ first-round playoff opponent
[/b][/size]

Headline photo: Patrick Smith

We know the Washington Capitals will face in the first round the owner of the Eastern Conference’s first wild-card spot, but we don’t know who that is. At the dawn of the final day of the regular season, that team could be Carolina Hurricanes, the Columbus Blue Jackets, or the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Here’s a cheat sheet for how it could go down.

As of the beginning of Saturday, here’s how the standings look. Teams that we care about right now are in pink.



Using those standings, the remaining schedule, and probabilities from HockeyViz, here are all the possible scenarios, as far as I know:

Caps vs Hurricanes (52-percent likely)

If CAR beats PHI and PIT beats NYR,

or

CAR loses to PHI and CBJ loses to OTT in regulation.

Caps vs Blue Jackets (31-percent likely)

If CBJ beats OTT and CAR loses to PHI,

or

if CBJ takes a point from OTT and CAR takes none from PHI.

Caps vs Penguins (17-percent likely)

If PIT loses in regulation to NYR and CAR beats PHI.

Reirden says Ovie was upset he had to play tonight and that it had nothing to do with the Rocket Richard Trophy, yet he is on BOTH PP units and the potent top line. :uh-huh:

Pavel095:
Let’s GO CAPS!
Waiting a couple of goals from Ovi tonight  :uh-huh:

alta:
It will be interesting to see how the defense plays tonight with Dylan playing switch
