Dylan will soon be fully immersed in his craft as the Capitals prepare to take on the Canadiens in round one. Game one of the series is scheduled for Monday night.

The Capitals head into the playoffs after capturing the Metropolitan Division title with a 51-21-9 record. On the other side, Montreal secured the second wild card spot with a 40-31-11 finish.

Strome has played a major role for Washington this season, leading the team in scoring with 81 points, including 29 goals and 52 assists across 81 games.

Dylan Strome “ready” for the playoffs”

The Capitals secured their playoff spot on March 20. They locked up the Metropolitan Division title on April 8 and clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference just a few days later on April 11.

The Capitals took the opportunity to rest some veteran players, but they also closed out the regular season with a rough stretch, losing seven of their final 12 games (4-7-1).

As such, Dylan Strome had a few words to say about his side’s form going into the playoffs:

“I think we want to play really good defense, try to find kind of that midseason form that we were in a while ago and just be sharp for the playoffs,” Strome commented.

“I think it’s definitely within us. We’ve been playing decent hockey, kind of like .500 hockey the last little while,so it’s time to ratchet it up and get ready for the playoffs.”

Game 1 is for Monday night in Washington. Game 2 will also be played at Capital One Arena on Wednesday before the series shifts to Centre Bell in Montreal for Games 3 and 4.
