It was the Capitals’ 34th season in the National Hockey League.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4On November 22, Head Coach Glen Hanlon was fired[1] after starting the Capitals with a 6\u201314\u20131 record, the team’s worst start since the 1981\u201382 season. He was replaced by Bruce Boudreau on an interim basis until December 26, when Boudreau’s position was made permanent.[2]On March 21, Alexander Ovechkin scored his 60th goal of the season in a game against the Atlanta Thrashers, becoming the first NHL player to accomplish the feat in 12 years, and tying Dennis Maruk’s single-season franchise record. He would go on to break the record in the Capitals’ next game, a 3\u20132 shootout win over the Carolina Hurricanes, on March 25. On April 3, Ovechkin scored twice to break Luc Robitaille’s single-season left-winger goal-scoring record of 63 goals. Ovechkin finished the regular season with 65 goals and 112 points and won the Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s Most Valuable Player. He remains the only NHL player to exceed 60 goals in a season in the salary cap era.On April 5, the Capitals defeated the Florida Panthers 3\u20131 at home to clinch the franchise’s third Southeast Division title and fourth Division title overall. The Capitals became the first team in NHL history to make the playoffs after being ranked 14th or lower in the standings at the season’s midpoint.[3]In the playoffs, the Capitals won their first game against the Philadelphia Flyers, but then lost three consecutive games to fall behind three games to one. They managed to win their next two games to force a Game 7, but lost in overtime on a power play goal by Joffrey Lupul.
