FACE-OFFS - The Capitals won 45 of the 86 face-offs they took in Game 3 (52%), their highest single game percentage this series. - Nic Dowd led the team with 14 wins on 23 draws (61%). - The Capitals won 66.7% of their face-offs while shorthanded (4 wins on 6 draws), 63.6% of their face-offs on the power play (7 wins on 11 draws), 55.2% in their defensive zone (16 wins on 29 draws) and 52.9% in their offensive zone (18 wins on 34 draws). These were each the highest percentages they have recorded in a single game in this series.
HITMEN - The Capitals recorded 57 hits in Game 3 against the Bruins, tied the fourth-most hits the Capitals have recorded in a playoff game since the NHL began tracking hits and the highest total since recording 58 in the Second Round of the 2016 playoffs against the Pittsburgh Penguins (May 3, Game 3). - Washington recorded at least 50 hits just once during the regular season (54 hits, Jan. 19 at Pittsburgh). - Last season, the Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning ranked first and second, respectively, in hits per 60 minutes of play (Dallas: 41.96 hits per 60; Tampa Bay: 40.96 hits per 60), and both reached the Stanley Cup Final.
LOW SCORING AFFAIRS AND TIGHT GAMES - Each of the last 12 postseason games between the Capitals and Bruins have been decided by a one-goal margin, the longest such run by a set of franchises in NHL history. That total includes all seven contests in their previous head-to-head series, which was during the 2012 Conference Quarterfinals (including four which required overtime). - Washington finished this regular season with a 19-1-5 record in one goal games, the highest win percentage in the NHL under these circumstances (2nd, Colorado: 17-3-4, .708 win percentage). - Additionally, this season, the Capitals finished with a record of 8-10-1 in games where they scored two or fewer goals, tied for the most wins despite tying for the eighth-fewest games played with two or fewer goals. - The Capitals 0.447 points percentage in games where they score two or fewer goals was the highest points percentage in the NHL this season.
NO DOWD ABOUT IT - Nic Dowd scored a goal in Game 3, his second goal of the playoffs. - Dowd set a career high for goals in a season with 11 this year, and his 0.20 goals per game rating doubled his goals per game rating entering this season (0.10 in his career). - In this series, Dowd has started 90.3 of his face-offs outside of the Capitals' offensive zone, the most of any player in this series. - Additionally, no player in the NHL started more of his face-offs at five-on-five outside of the offensive zone in the regular season than Dowd (84.9 percent). That’s the fifth-highest percentage by a player in a season since 2009-10, when the NHL first began tracking the data.
FRANCHISE GREATS - Alex Ovechkin (70g, 64a, 134p in 139 playoff games) and Nicklas Backstrom (36g, 71a, 107p in 131 playoff games), who between them have the Capitals records for career playoff goals, assists, points and games played, have extended their shared franchise benchmark for most years in the postseason (currently 12). - They are two of 13 active players with at least 100 career playoff points, and one of five sets of current teammates on that list (also Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin; Boston's David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron; Chicago's Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews; San Jose's Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture). - John Carlson (18g, 49a, 67p in 115 playoff games) ranks fifth among active defensemen with 67 career playoff points. - Carlson is one of five active skaters who leads his current franchise in career playoff goals, assists, points and games played among defensemen (also Los Angeles' Drew Doughty; Pittsburgh's Kris Letang; Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman; Vegas' Shea Theodore).
CUP PEDIGREE - As one of the last three winners of the Stanley Cup, the Capitals rank third in the NHL in terms of both the number of Cup winners on their roster (14) and total combined championships (17), trailing the two most recent winners in each category (Tampa Bay Lightning: 21 players, 22 Cups; and St. Louis Blues: 17 players, 18 Cups). - Nine members of Washington’s 2018 Stanley Cup team remain with the club: Nicklas Backstrom, John Carlson, Lars Eller, Michal Kempny, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Dmitry Orlov, T.J. Oshie, Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson. Washington Capitals: Game By Game Summary * = Overtime, ** = Shootout, + = Sellout # Date Team W-L-OT Record GF-GA Scorers W Goal PP PK SF-SA W-L Gltdr.
