NOTE OF THE NIGHT

Djoos Is Loose- In Christian Djoos' NHL and Capitals debut, the 23-year-old Swedish defenseman scored a goal and added an assist in 13:20 of ice time. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Djoos became the first Capitals defenseman to score a goal in his NHL debut since Steve Poapst scored in his first game on April 10, 1996 against the New York Rangers. Djoos also became the first defenseman in franchise history to record two points in his debut game. Djoos factored in to every Capitals goal, the first rookie defenseman to factor into every goal in a two-goal game since John Carlson did so on Feb. 17, 2011 in a two-assist effort against the San Jose Sharks. Djoos set career highs in the AHL last season in games (66), goals (13), assists (45) and points (58) and led all Hershey defensemen in points. Additionally, Djoos ranked second among AHL defensemen with at least 25 games played in primary assists, averaging 0.38 per game.

TOP FIVE CAPS FACTS

Ovechtrick- Through the first four games of the season, Alex Ovechkin has a league-leading eight goals, his highest total in the first four games of the season in his career. Additionally, that's the most goals in the first four games of a season since Patrick Marleau scored eight for the San Jose Sharks in the 2012-13 season. In the Capitals home opener against the , Alex Ovechkin recorded a hat trick for the second-straight game to lead the Capitals to a 6-1 win. Ovechkin became the first player to open the season with two straight hat tricks in 100 years (Cy Denneny, Ottawa Senators, 1917; Reg Noble, Toronto Arenas, 1917; Joe Malone, Montreal Canadiens, 1917). Ovechkin's hat trick came in the first period and marked his second-straight game scoring three goals in a single period. In the season opener against the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 5, Ovechkin recorded a hat trick in the third period. That makes Ovechkin the third player in NHL history to record two consecutive three-goal periods in two games and the first since 1980 (Rick Martin, Buffalo Sabres, 1975; Darryl Sittler, Toronto Maple Leafs, 1980). The third goal marked Ovechkin's 19th-career hat trick. That ties him with Peter Bondra for the most in franchise history. Ovechkin's 19th hat trick ranks 16th on the all-time list, tied with Gordie Howe, , Dino Ciccarelli and Bondra. Ovechkin also recorded a fourth goal in the second period, his fourth-career four-goal game and his first since Dec. 10, 2013 (vs. Tampa Bay).

Backstrom tallied 86 points (23g, 63a) in 82 games last season, ranking second in the NHL in assists and first in assists per 60 minutes (2.52). Backstrom's 86-point season was his third-highest point total of his career. The Gavle, native finished the season +17, his second-straight season with the mark and set a new career high in game- winning goals (5). In addition, Backstrom ranked second in the NHL in power play assists (27) and led the NHL in power play points (35). Since 2007-08, Backstrom ranks third in the NHL in assists (545), trailing Joe Thornton (559) and Sedin (555).

Oshie was fifth on the team in points (56), first on the team in goals per game (1.63) and second on the team in points per game (2.77). Oshie's 33 goals set a new career high and marked the first time in his career that he reached the 30- goal mark. Oshie also became the first Capitals player to score 30 goals in a season since the 2009-10 season (Alex Semin: 40, Nicklas Backstrom: 33). The Capitals were 27-3-2 when Oshie earned a point last season.

Dishing with Kuzy - Through four games, Evgeny Kuznetsov has eight assists, the highest mark in the NHL. Kuznetsov has recorded multi-assist efforts in two games this season, including a four assist effort against the Montreal Canadiens.
