1997–98 Washington Capitals season
Encyclopedia
The 1997–98 Washington Capitals season saw the team reach the 1998 Stanley Cup Finals
for the first time in club history. Peter Bondra's 52 goals led the team, veterans Dale Hunter, Joe Juneau, and Adam Oates
returned to old form, and Olaf Kolzig
had a solid .920 save percentage as the Caps got past the Boston Bruins
, Ottawa Senators
, and Buffalo Sabres
(the latter on a dramatic overtime win in game six on a goal by Joe Juneau) en route to the team's first (and to date, only) Stanley Cup Finals appearance. The Capitals won six overtime games, three in each of their series against the Bruins and Sabres. However, the team was no match for the defending champs, the Detroit Red Wings
, who won in a four-game sweep.
