 Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals made the final day of the NHL's regular season a little anticlimactic Sunday.
Once the Capitals completed their stirring comeback from oblivion to the Southeast Division title on Saturday night, all that was left on the last day was some housekeeping and seed switching.
The 16 playoff teams were all decided when the Capitals beat the Florida Panthers at home. That got Washington into the postseason party for the first time since 2003 and eliminated the Carolina Hurricanes, the team that led the Southeast most of the season.
