INSIDE THE NUMBERS * Thirty-eight NHLers (35 skaters, 3 goaltenders) have played for both the Capitals and Blackhawks. * Of those 38, only one has skated in at least 200 games for both clubs – current Capitals forward Troy Brouwer (CHI: 238, WSH: 246). Brouwer played for the Blackhawks in the 2009 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic against the Red Wings at Wrigley Field. * These clubs have split their last 10 meetings dating to March 12, 2004. The Capitals are 5-4-1 (11 points) in those contests, while the Blackhawks are 5-3-2 (12 points). * The Capitals, however, have won five of their past seven matchups dating to Oct. 11, 2008. That includes a 3-2 victory in their first and only other meeting this season on Nov. 7 at United Center. In that contest, the Capitals scored three unanswered goals in the second period – by Andre Burakovsky, Marcus Johansson and Joel Ward – to overcome a 2-0 deficit. * The Capitals have played host to the Blackhawks just three times since the start of 2006-07 season, most recently on April 11, 2014 (a 4-0 victory). Prior to that, the Blackhawks had not visited the U.S. capital since March 13, 2011. * This marks the second outdoor game appearance for the Capitals, who also participated in the 2011 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic against the Penguins at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh (a 3-1 victory). * The Blackhawks will be skating in their third outdoor game, following their appearances in the 2009 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field (a 6-4 loss) and 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at Soldier Field (a 5-1 victory), both in Chicago. * Fourteen players on the Capitals roster have skated in a regular-season outdoor NHL game. Of those 14, two have participated in more than one such game: Jason Chimera (2003 HC, 2011 WC) and Brooks Orpik (2008 WC, 2011 WC, 2014 SS). * Nineteen players on the Blackhawks roster have participated in a regular-season outdoor NHL game. That includes 17 of their 20 players who appeared in the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series at Soldier Field. 3 EXPERIENCING BOTH SIDES OF THE CAPITALS-BLACKHAWKS RIVALRY Skaters and goaltenders who have competed for both the Capitals and Blackhawks: ------ WASHINGTON ------ ---------- CHICAGO --------- SKATER GP G A PTS GP G A PTS BAUMGARTNER, Nolan 18 0 2 2 8 0 0 0 BEREZIN, Sergei 9 5 4 9 66 18 13 31 BLACK, James 166 25 28 53 129 25 19 44 BONDRA, Peter 961 472 353 825 37 5 9 14 BROUWER, Troy^ 246 72 54 126 238 49 54 103 BRUNETTE, Andrew 62 18 22 40 78 12 15 27 BULLEY, Ted 39 4 9 13 349 94 102 196 CHRISTIAN, Dave 504 193 224 417 69 4 17 21 CICCONE, Enrico 89 3 1 4 78 2 3 5 COTE, Sylvain 622 75 195 270 45 6 18 24 DAHLEN, Ulf 217 53 85 138 30 6 8 14 EAGLES, Mike 266 13 22 35 70 6 13 19 GENDRON, Martin 28 4 2 6 2 0 0 0 HICKS, Doug 18 0 1 1 57 2 15 17 HOLT, Randy 123 2 14 16 42 0 4 4 HOUSLEY, Phil 141 17 54 71 137 21 47 68 KRYSKOW, Dave 51 9 15 24 83 8 12 20 KUCERA, Frantisek 56 1 13 14 232 14 49 63 LAING, Quintin 76 3 7 10 3 0 1 1 LANG, Robert 145 51 92 143 76 21 33 54 LEPISTO, Sami 14 0 5 5 26 1 2 3 MILLER, Kevin 10 0 3 3 106 18 24 42 MILLER, Kip 138 21 60 81 10 1 4 5 MOHNS, Doug 75 2 19 21 415 116 163 279 MORRISON, Brendan 74 12 30 42 11 0 0 0 MUIR, Bryan 98 11 22 33 64 3 7 10 MURPHY, Joe 43 6 13 19 210 83 96 179 NIKOLISHIN, Andrei 407 58 113 171 60 6 15 21 NYLANDER, Michael 186 37 91 128 239 63 117 180 PAYNTER, Kent 14 1 2 3 3 0 0 0 POAPST, Steve 25 1 0 1 220 7 23 30 REEKIE, Joe 515 11 64 75 17 0 2 2 RIBBLE, Pat 98 5 22 27 35 2 5 7 SIMON, Chris 320 72 79 151 61 12 6 18 ULANOV, Igor 3 0 1 1 53 1 8 9 ^ Includes 2014-15 statistics through games of Sunday, Dec. 28. ----------- WASHINGTON ----------- -------------- CHICAGO -------------- GOALTENDER GP W L T/OT GAA GP W L T/OT GAA HUET, Cristobal 13 11 2 0 1.63 89 46 29 8 2.51 MASON, Bob 76 35 29 7 3.17 41 13 18 8 4.15 SMITH, Gary 17 2 12 3 4.16 51 24 15 8 2.94 * No one has served as a head coach of both franchises. 4 2015 BRIDGESTONE NHL WINTER CLASSIC UNIFORMS WASHINGTON CAPITALS The Capitals’ uniform for the 2015 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic includes many elements from the club’s jerseys worn during the past five decades.
