TONIGHT'S GAME The Washington Capitals face the Nashville Predators tonight in their first of two games against one another this season. The Capitals are 13-13-1-2 all-time against the Predatprs.

NOTE OF THE NIGHT Nicky 900 - Tonight against the Nashville Predators, Nicklas Backstrom will play in his 900th career game, becoming the fifth player in franchise history to reach the milestone. Backstrom will also become the second player from his 2006 NHL Draft class to reach the 900 game mark (Phil Kessel: 998 games played). Backstrom’s 876 career points (232g, 644a) leads his draft class, as does his 644 career assists. Since his rookie season in 2007-08, his 644 assists rank first in the NHL. He’s the only player in the NHL to record at least 50 assists in each of the last six seasons and one of 26 players all-time to string together six consecutive 50-assist seasons. Of the 25 other players to accomplish this feat, 23 are in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and the other two players (Joe Thornton and Henrik Sedin) are not yet eligible. Backstrom, who collected two points (1g, 1a) against Dallas last night, recorded his first multi-point game of the season and 234th of his career. Backstrom is now five assists shy of passing Daniel Sedin (648) for the fifth most assists among Swedish-born players and 10 points shy of passing Peter Forsberg (885) for the seventh-most points by a Swedish-born player in NHL history.

TOP FIVE CAPS FACTS Super Carly - John Carlson has five points (1g, 4a) in the Capitals' first four games, and two multi-point games, including Tuesday's game against the Dallas Stars. With one goal and one assist against Dallas, Carlson recorded his 85th career multi-point game, tying Larry Murphy for the sixth-most multi-point games by a defenseman in franchise history. Carlson's five points are tied for the most in the NHL by a defenseman, through games played Oct. 8. Last season, his 70 points (13g, 57a) ranked fourth in the NHL among defensemen, while his 57 assists were tied for second. With 408 career points, Carlson is the fifth defenseman in franchise history to reach the 400-point milestone, joining Calle Johansson (474), Scott Stevens (429), Kevin Hatcher (426) and Sergei Gonchar (416). With 692 career games, Carlson ranks third in franchise history in games played among defensemen and is one of eight defensemen to reach the 600-game mark.

Nice and Kuzy - Evgeny Kuznetsov scored a goal in his first game of the season on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars. Kuznetsov is one of nine forwards in the NHL on an active streak of four consecutive seasons with at least 40 assists, and he ranks 12th in the NHL in total assists over the last five seasons (204). Kuznetsov’s 0.67 assists per game last season ranked second on the team and tied for 16th among forwards in the NHL among players with at least 70 games played. Among active players with at least 300 games played, Kuznetsov’s career 0.57 assists per game rate is tied for 12th. Additionally, Kuznetsov’s seven career overtime goals rank fourth in franchise history, while his two last season led the Capitals.

Cardiac Caps - Nicklas Backstrom tied the game with 31 seconds remaining against the Dallas Stars to send the game to overtime. It marked the Capitals' first goal of the season scored in the final minute of regulation and the first goal scored with an extra man. Last season, the Capitals scored four goals with six skaters on the ice. The last minute goal marked Backstrom's 12th career goal scored in the final minute of regulation, which is the sixth-most in franchise history (Alex Ovechkin leads the franchise with 37 final minute goals).

Shots - Through four games, the Capitals have recorded 128 shots, tied for the fourth-most in the NHL, and have allowed 102, out- shooting their opponents in all four games. The Capitals' 25.5 allowed shots per game is the lowest in the NHL. Additionally, the Capitals' 58.56 shot attempt percentage at five-on-five (154 shot attempts for, 109 against) ranks first in the NHL. Alex Ovechkin leads the NHL with 20 shots. Fifteen of the Capitals' 18 players who have appeared in a game this season have a positive shot attempt percentage at five-on-five, with Brendan Leipsic leading the NHL and his team (76.19 shot attempt percentage) and John Carlson ranking first among defensemen (62.75 shot attempt percentage).

Great 8 - Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is beginning his 15th season with Washington this year. The franchise’s all-time leader in games played (1,088) has 659 career goals, and Ovechkin currently sits in 13th place on the NHL’s all-time list, 10 goals shy of passing Luc Robitaille (668) for 12th place all-time. Should Ovechkin record another 50 goals this season, which would mark his ninth 50-goal season in his career, Ovechkin will tie Mike Gartner (708) for the seventh most goals in NHL history and pass Robitaille (668), Teemu Selanne (684), Mario Lemieux (690), Steve Yzerman (692) and Mark Messier (694). Ovechkin became the 12th-fastest player in NHL history to reach the 650-goal mark last season and just the fourth player in NHL history to record at least 650 goals with the same team (Detroit’s Gordie Howe and Yzerman, Lemieux). Ovechkin has won 17 individual awards in his 14 seasons: eight Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophies (2007-08, 2008-09, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2017-18, 2018-19), three Hart Memorial Trophies (2007-08, 2008-09, 2012-13), three Ted Lindsay Awards (2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10), an Art Ross Trophy (2007-08), a Conn Smythe Trophy (2017-18) and a Calder Memorial Trophy (2005-06).

QUICK HITS Hitman - Tom Wilson leads the Capitals with 10 hits this season. Since his rookie season in 2013-14, Wilson’s 1,354 hits rank fifth among forwards in the NHL.

At The Dot - The Capitals' 52.7 face-off percentage ranks sixth in the NHL. Among Capitals with at least 50 face-offs, Lars Eller leads the team and the NHL in face-off percentage (63.6 percent, 35 wins, 20 losses), while both Chandler Stephenson and Nicklas Backstrom are 50 percent or better (Stephenson: 56 percent; Backstrom: 50 percent).

PK Jens - Nick Jensen is averaging 2:16 time on the penalty kill this season, the highest per game total on the Capitals. Last season, Jensen averaged 1:27 per game on the penalty kill with the Capitals.

Holtbeast - With 258 career wins, Braden Holtby has just 12 fewer wins than the nine goaltenders selected ahead of him in the 2008 NHL Draft, through games played Oct. 8.

ADDITIONAL CAPITALS NOTES Osh-Babe - Through the first four games of the season, T.J. Oshie has two goals and three points (2g, 1a). Since joining the Capitals in 2015-16, Oshie ranks second on the Capitals with 104 goals (Alex Ovechkin: 184). He’s one of only 44 players with over 100 goals in the last five seasons, including the 2019-20 season. Since 2015-16, Oshie has scored 104 goals on 608 shots, converting on 17.1 percent of his shots, which is the sixth-highest shooting percentage in the NHL among players with at least 50 goals during that span.

Thrashing Nashville – Alex Ovechkin has earned 15 points (10g, 5a) in 19 career games against the Predators. Nicklas Backstrom has earned 19 points (5g, 14a) in 19 career games against the Predators and has tallied an assist in three of his last four games. In addition, he has tallied four multi-point games in his career against Nashville. Brendan Leipsic was originally drafted by the Predators in the 2012 NHL Draft in the third round, 89th overall.

Sammy Debut - Capitals rookie goaltender Ilya Samsonov recorded 25 saves on 26 shots and earned his first career win on Friday against the New York Islanders. Samsonov became the eighth goaltender in franchise history to make their Capitals debut, play a full game and allow one or fewer goal, rookie or veteran. Selected with the Capitals' 22nd overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, Samsonov is one of 14 goaltenders selected by the Capitals to make his NHL debut with the franchise and the 11th to make his first appearance under the age of 23. Additionally, Samsonov, who was 22 and 223 days old on the day of his first game, became the 10th youngest Russian-born goaltender to make his debut in NHL history. Samsonov finished his first professional season last year in North America with a 20-14-2 record, a 2.70 goals against average and a .898 save percentage in 37 games with Hershey in the AHL. Samsonov tied for eighth in the AHL in shutouts (3) and won six consecutive games from Feb. 2 to Feb. 27, posting a 1.46 goals against average and a .947 save percentage in that span.
