FREDERICK, MD — The Capitals came into the final game looking to shake off their semifinal exit and let loose. The Kings brought the usual firepower, but the first period belonged entirely to the guys in red, as the Capitals stormed out to a 4–0 lead, turning every bounce into offense and leaving the Kings scrambling.

Mark Macera was everywhere—finding seams, feeding teammates, and scoring twice himself. Justin Constantino matched him with a four-goal game, including a third-period dagger to seal it. James Constantino, Jon Freer, Aaron Michaels, and Tommy George each had multi-point nights, delivering what might’ve been the most balanced attack the Caps have unleashed all season.

The Kings, despite the rocky start, never backed down. The second period became a rollercoaster as Pat St. Clair rallied the troops with two goals and multiple assists, Josh Cornwall, Danny Liverette, Bobby Plant, and Geordie Wilson added their own tallies, and Pat Murphy quietly stacked assists like pucks on the dasher before warmups.

Ultimately, every Kings run was met with a Capital answer. Tommy George's pair, including a late third-period strike, stamped out any chance of a miracle comeback.

Final: Capitals 11, Kings 7. The Capitals finish with a win and walk out of the season with heads high. The Kings head to the locker room with some bruises, some jokes, and a highlight reel that still rattles.
