- Ovechkin, nearing 40, scored four goals and recorded 19 hits in the series, while teammate Dylan Strome contributed nine points and coach Spencer Carbery praised Ovechkin's outstanding performance.
- Carbery said Ovechkin's playoff performance this year is “night and day” compared to last year, and Wilson noted, “He's done it ever since I've been here, so I don't see why he won't keep doing it.”
- The Capitals will start their second-round best-of-seven series against the Carolina Hurricanes in Washington on May 6, facing a familiar and challenging opponent with the expectation of needing to elevate their game.
