The Caps will go with backup goaltender Phillip Grubauer in this meaningless finale that was a makeup game due to the Washington blizzard in January. Washington put up 5 goals on Saturday and they’ve been getting behind nearly every game since clinching best record in the NHL. They had allowed 11 goals in their previous three games.
