The Washington Capitals received help from an unlikely foe Thursday night.
Sidney Crosby scored a ridiculous overtime winner against the New Jersey Devils, and with that loss, the Caps clinched a playoff spot.
This marks the fourth straight campaign the Capitals have made the postseason, and the 10th time in the last 11 years. The 2013-14 season is the only year they missed the playoffs during this run.
