Note of the Night THROUGH 20 - In the first 20 games of the season, the Capitals are 11-5-4, good for first place in the MassMutual East Division and the ninth-best points percentage in the NHL (.650). - With that record, head coach Peter Laviolette tied Jim Schoenfeld (1993-94) for the franchise record for the best 20-game start as a head coach. Laviolette is the first head coach in franchise history to win 11 games in his first 20 games since Dale Hunter in 2011-12. - Since Feb. 16, the Capitals are 5-1-1. Washington's 23 goals during that span are tied with the for first in the NHL. - This season, Washington's 3.45 goals per game ranks fifth in the NHL. - The Capitals are 8-1-0 this season when leading after two periods, tied for the fourth-most wins in this situation in the NHL. - The Capitals have allowed two or fewer goals in each of their last two games, the second time this season they have accomplished this feat (one goal allowed on Feb. 16 against Pittsburgh and one goal allowed on Feb. 18 against Buffalo).

Top Caps Facts NICKY 700 - Nicklas Backstrom leads the Capitals with 24 points (9g, 15a) in 20 games, the seventh-most points in the NHL through games played Feb. 26. - Backstrom is one assist shy of 700 career assists, where he would become one of three active players to reach the 700 assist mark and the fifth Swedish-born player in NHL history, joining Nicklas Lidstrom (878), Henrik Sedin (830), Mats Sundin (785) and Daniel Alfredsson (713). - Should Backstrom record an assist against New Jersey, it will be one year and six days after Alex Ovechkin scored his 700th goal against New Jersey at the Prudential Center. - Backstrom has 157 career multi-assist game, the second most in the NHL since Backstrom's rookie season in 2007-08 (: 167). - This season, Backstrom required 15 or fewer games to register 20 points in a season for the second time in his career (14 games in 2011-12). - Backstrom has recorded a point in 15 of the Capitals' 20 games. - Backstrom's 0.72 assists per game are tied for the second-most among active NHL players with at least 500 assists, and that is tied for the 17th- highest rate in NHL history among players with 500 assists.

There have been 6,463 players in NHL history who have scored 145 or fewer goals in their career. - Ovechkin’s career 0.61 goals per game rate (712g in 1,168 games) is the highest among the NHL’s eight players who have reached the 700-goal milestone. - Ovechkin has 146 career multi-goal games, 62 more multi-goal games than the next-closest player since Ovechkin's rookie season in 2005-06 (Sidney Crosby: 84). That's more multi-goal games than 2,610 players have total goals during that span. - Ovechkin’s 15 career 30-goal campaigns trail only Gartner (17) for the most in League history. Additionally, his 15 consecutive 30-goal seasons are tied with Gartner (1979-80–1993-94) and Jaromir Jagr (1991-92–2006-07) for the longest such run by an NHL player.

SUPER CARLY - John Carlson is tied for second among NHL defensemen in points (19) through games played Feb. 26 and is also on a four-game point streak (1g, 6a). - Carlson is three points shy of 500 points (110g, 387a).
