There have been a few clutch moments during the 2019-20 Washington Capitals season.

The Washington Capitals made epic comebacks and many stars have led the way. This piece will highlight them all. We all know where the Caps stand right now, first in the Metropolitan Division with 90 points and a 41-20-8 mark.

It would stink if the season got cancelled but right now it’s in a pause and with the Olympics postponed there might be some optimism surrounding a return. After all, the NHL said they’re determined to award the Stanley Cup and the Caps would like nothing more than a good reset possibly in July.

We don’t know what will happen but for now, we can reflect on where they are. They were tops in the league for much of the first half of the season. When the calendar flipped to 2020, they were mostly a .500 team at best. Maybe the break is a good thing.

But don’t say that any of the following five players we are about to mention. They’ve all been clutch all season long and if the season continues they’ll be counted on even more as the Caps look to resume their chase to their second Stanley Cup.
