How Saturday’s games will determine the Caps’ first-round playoff opponent

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.

(https://i1.wp.com/russianmachineneverbreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/standings-2.png?ssl=1)

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:

And Bolts got the Jackets. There is a possibility that the Caps could have home advantage throughout the playoffs if the Flames and Bolts get knocked off before we get to them.

Bruins vs Leafs,.. The Jackets will still be trying to prove themselves a playoff team by winning their first ever series. Physically, the Canes should be the easiest opponent.

Draisaitl got his 50th goal 10 min into the 1st period.  Tied 1-1 after the 1st period.


ETA
UPDATE:  Oiler on top 2-1 after two. Draisaitl still at 50 goals.   :cross:

UPDATE #2
Game over. Only one goal for Draisaitl, so he ends the season at 50.  Ovie  gets RR!
