John Tortorella influence on the Rangers’ playoff chances has resurfaced as the team prepares to face the Capitals in the first round of the NHL playoffs. A peculiar turn of events occurred during the Capitals’ game against the Flyers where the outcome had implications for multiple teams vying for playoff spots. The Capitals needed a win to secure the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference while the Flyers required a regulation win coupled with a regulation loss by the Red Wings.
However, a late goal by the Red Wings forced overtime ultimately eliminating the Flyers from playoff contention. Shortly after, Tortorella now coaching the Flyers made the decision to pull their goalie in a bid for a regulation win. However, this decision backfired as the Capitals capitalized on the empty net to secure their playoff spot. Despite the chaotic turn of events, the Capitals emerged victorious securing the final playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Rangers clinched the top seed in the East and the President’s Trophy with 114 points.
