Environment - Non Weather Related; Human Factors; Procedure
Flight was the first leg of a three day pairing. It was my first trip back at work after being off for two months. I briefed the First Officer to this fact; and told him to watch me. We would take our time. He told me he was just off OE and not flown much after that. the weather was VFR in ZZZ but we briefed just like we would for an instrument approach; Arrival; Approach Plate; terrain issues and single engine go arounds. I also briefed that Runway XXR was closed so we planned on a visual approach backed up by the RNAV (GPS) XXL. Approach cleared us for the visual approach when we were abeam the airport and I called for flaps 1 on speed. As we slowed to Vfe Next; and the trend arrow showed we were slowing I called for flaps 2. The First Officer called 'Check Speed'; because we were still a little above Vfe Next. I referenced my airspeed and saw we were slowing and thought I would be on speed by the time I called Flaps 2 and he selected flaps 2. I called for flaps 2 and he selected flaps 2; I saw the red overspeed tape start to drop down and immediately called for flaps 1 which the First Officer did. I thought we had caught it but we got the flap overspeed warning for about 1 to two seconds; the airspeed was between 200 to 205 kts. I then slowed the aircraft and configured for landing on speed. After landing we taxied to the gate; and after shutdown I debriefed what had happened. I called Dispatch/Maintenance and made an entry into the AML. Maintenance called out Contract Maintenance and an aircraft inspection was done and cleared.My not having flown in a while. Pairing up a Captain that just returned from a leave of absence with a pilot fresh off OE.
Air carrier Captain reported a speed deviation and flap overspeed on final.
