The Washington Capitals have the least amount of regulation time losses in the NHL so far this season with only five losses. Doesn’t it seem like we have lost a lot more games than that? We have. We have six OT or shootout losses. Pittsburgh on the other hand has zero OT losses. Both the Caps and Penguins have 40 points in the East although Pittsburgh has played one more game than we have to date.

The Caps just scored their 100th goal last night in 28 games. The league leading San Jose has 43 points in 30 games played and they have scored 103 goals. Both the Caps and the San Jose Sharks have let in 80 goals to date.

The Sharks, Penguins and Capitals are the only teams to date with at least 40 points.
