Washington clinches division with win over the Canadiens Globe_Sports
. Despite beating other division leaders in their past two games, the Canadiens entered Thursday even behind Columbus for the second and final wild card due to the regulation/overtime wins tiebreaker.
Even on points, the Blue Jackets now have a game in hand, while the Carolina Hurricanes clinched at least the top wild card with their win over New Jersey.The Capitals’ two goals resulted directly from turnovers by the Canadiens. Eller opened the scoring late in the first from directly in front of net, after Carl Hagelin won the puck deep off a Canadiens player behind the goal-line and fed Brett Connolly, who provided the final pass.
Weber tied it on the power play less than a minute later, but the Dowd put the Caps in front again less than three minutes after the first intermission, this time after Andre Burakovsky forced a turnover.
