Note of the Night N1KY - Nicklas Backstrom is scheduled to play in his 1,000th career game tomorrow night against the Buffalo Sabres at Capital One Arena. Backstrom will become the second player in franchise history to play 1,000 games with the Capitals, joining teammate and captain Alex Ovechkin. - Backstrom will become the second active player to reach the 1,000-game mark with at least 700 career assists (Sidney Crosby). Only 23 players in NHL history had at least 700 assists at the 1,000-game mark in their career. Of these 23 players, 21 are members of the Hockey Hall of Fame, while two are not yet eligible (Crosby and Jaromir Jagr). - Additionally, Backstrom will be the 69th player in NHL history and the 14th active player to play 1,000 career games with one team, and the first Capital to reach the 1,000-game mark in a Capitals sweater since Brooks Orpik on Jan. 14, 2019 against the St. Louis Blues. - The Capitals hold a record of 592-296-111 with Backstrom in the lineup since his NHL debut on Oct. 5, 2007. He has skated with 165 different teammates, played in 39 different venues and has played in front of 17,104,313 fans in his career. - Backstrom leads the Capitals with 44 points (14g, 30a) in 43 games this season and last game joined Patrick Kane and Anze Kopitar as the only players to record at least 30 assists in each of the last 14 seasons. - Backstrom’s 1.02 points per game rate this season is his highest since 2016-17 (1.05 points per game) and the fifth-highest rate of his career. - On March 5, 2021, against the Boston Bruins, Backstrom became the second fastest active player (Crosby: 856 games) and the 23rd fastest player in NHL history to reach the 700-assist mark in his 979th career game.
Top Caps Facts GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION - Anthony Mantha recorded a goal and an assist in his Capitals debut on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Flyers. - Mantha became the 49th player in franchise history to score in his debut game and the first since Nic Dowd on Oct. 3, 2018, against the Boston Bruins. - Mantha joined Washington after recording 21 points (11g, 10a) in 42 games with the Red Wings this season. Mantha led Detroit with 11 goals and ranked second with 21 points. Mantha also led Detroit with 19 even strength points (9g, 10a) and was tied for third with two power play goals. - During the 2019-20 season, Mantha ranked third on the team in goals (16), tied for third in assists (22) and third in points (38) despite playing in only 43 of the team’s 71 games due to injury. Mantha was on pace for his best statistical season in 2019-20, as his 0.88 points-per-game average eclipsed his previous best of 0.71, accomplished in the 2018-19 season when he notched a career-high 25 goals and 48 points in 67 games.
OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION - The Capitals beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1 on Tuesday and have combined for 14 goals over their last two games (8-1 win at Boston on April 11). - The last time Washington tallied more goals over two consecutive contests, excluding shootout-deciding goals, was Jan. 11-13, 2003 (16g). - After being shutout in Long Island on April 6, the Capitals have scored 20 goals over their last four games and a goal in each of their last nine periods. - The Capitals' 150 goals are tied with the Colorado Avalanche for the most in the NHL.
ALL THAT POWER - The Capitals power play went three for three against the Flyers on Tuesday, the first time they had three or more opportunities and scored on each of them since March 20, 1992 (4 for 4 vs. Philadelphia). - It also marked the first time Washington has recorded at least three power play goals in two-straight games since Dec. 3-5, 2009 (7ppgs). - On April 10, Washington's power play was 25 for 104 (24%), ranking seventh in the NHL. After the last two games, Washington is now 31 for 113 (27.4%) and rank second in the NHL this season.
GREAT 8 - Alex Ovechkin scored his 728th career goal on Tuesday against Philadelphia, making him four shy of passing Marcel Dionne (731g) for fifth place on the NHL’s all-time goals list, and he improved his career totals against Philadelphia to 68 points (40g, 28a) in 62 games played. - The Flyers became the sixth franchise in which Ovechkin has scored 40 or more goals against (Winnipeg/Atlanta: 48g; Tampa Bay; 48g, Carolina: 43g; Toronto: 41g; New York Islanders: 40g). - Ovechkin is tied for third in the NHL in goals, through games played April 13. The average age of the three scorers ahead of Ovechkin, who is 35 years old, is 23.6 years old (Toronto's Auston Matthews; Colorado's Mikko Rantanen; Edmonton's Connor McDavid). - Over an 82-game season, Ovechkin would be on pace to score 46 goals. With 13 games remaining on the schedule, Ovechkin is currently on pace to finish with 29 goals. - If Ovechkin, who has 15 goals in his last 20 games, is able to reach the 30-goal mark, he will set the NHL record with 16 consecutive 30-goal seasons (currently tied at 15 with Mike Gartner and Jaromir Jagr). Additionally, he would only trail Gartner (17) for the most total 30-goal seasons.
SHEARS EXTENSION - The Capitals re-signed Conor Sheary on Wednesday to a two-year contract extension. - Sheary recorded three points (1g, 2a) on Tuesday against Philadelphia, marking his first three point game of the season and his first since Dec. 31, 2019. - Sheary has recorded 19 points (11g, 8a) in 40 games with the Capitals this season, tied for fourth on the team in goals. - Sheary would be on pace to score 22 goals over an 82-game season, which would mark the second time in his career he would reach the 20-goal mark in a season (2016-17: 23g with the Pittsburgh Penguins). - Sheary ranks eighth in the NHL among players with at least 40 games played with 1.26 goals per 60 minutes of five-on-five play, through games played April 13, and 10 of his 11 goals have come at five-on-five.
DOUBLE V - Vitek Vanecek made 34 saves to improve to 17-7-3 in 2020-21 (2.60 GAA, .913 SV%, 1 SO) and sits tied for fifth in wins this season. Only three other rookie netminders in Capitals history have recorded more than 16 victories in a single season.
