The Montreal Canadiens did the Washington Capitals a little favour on Thursday.
When the Canadiens rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period to go to overtime against the New York Islanders, the Capitals became the first team to clinch a playoff spot in the NHL this season.
The league-leading Caps did their part about an hour earlier, finishing off a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Alex Ovechkin scored his 888th career goal in the game, moving him seven away from breaking Wayne Gretzky’s record.
