The game preludes Washington’s Round Robin play that begins on Aug. 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It marks the Capitals first game since March 9 against the Buffalo Sabres, a span of 143 days, and the first time in franchise history the Capitals have played a game in the month of July. In addition, it marks the earliest game – including preseason, regular season and the playoffs – in franchise history. Previously, the earliest game the Capitals had played was on Sept. 12, 1989 when the Capitals faced Farjestad BK in Karlstad, Sweden (7-4 loss). METRO WINNERS – The Capitals finished first in the Metropolitan Division, marking their fifth consecutive division title, the first time in franchise history they have accomplished the feat. The Capitals became the eighth franchise in NHL history to win five consecutive division titles and the first since the Anaheim Ducks from 2012-13 to 2016-17. END OF A RARE STREAK – From 2014-15 to 2018-19, the Capitals recorded five consecutive 100-point seasons, the only active team in the NHL with as many during that time. With 90 points in 69 games before the suspension-shortened 2019-20 season, the Capitals were again on pace to reach the 100- point mark. Had they reached 100 points, the Capitals would have become the fourth franchise in NHL history to reach the mark six consecutive times, joining the Detroit Red Wings (12 times: 1999-00 to 2011-12), the Montreal Canadiens (eight times: 1974-75 to 1981-82) and the Edmonton Oilers (1981-82 to 1986-87). Team Streak Started Streak Ended Total Seasons Detroit Red Wings 1999-00 2011-12 12 Montreal Canadiens 1974-75 1981-82 8 Edmonton Oilers 1981-82 1986-87 6 Over the last six seasons, the Capitals are 294-135-50, and have recorded the most points in the NHL during that time span, while their 1,512 goals are second and their 1,256 goals against are tied for fourth. ANOTHER ROCKET – Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, who extended his NHL record with his ninth career Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy as the NHL’s top goal scorer, scored 48 goals this season and was on pace for 57 goals, which would have been the second-highest total of his career, his highest total since 2007-08 (65g) and the ninth time Ovechkin would have reached the 50-goal mark. Ovechkin was on pace to join Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy as the only players in NHL history with nine 50-goal seasons. He would have also joined Phil Esposito as the only players in NHL history to record at least three 50-goal seasons after their 30th birthday (Esposito: four). Additionally, Ovechkin would have become the second-oldest player in NHL history to record a 50- goal season, only trailing Johnny Buyck (35 years, 308 days old at the conclusion of the 1970-71 season). Ovechkin is entering his 12th career postseason, where he currently ranks first among active players in playoff goals per game (65g in 128 games, 0.51 goals per game) and third in points per game (0.98 points per game). Ovechkin’s 128 career playoff games are tied for 16th among active players. JOHNNY FOR NORRIS – John Carlson is one of three finalists for the Norris Trophy, which is presented annually to the top defenseman in the NHL. Carlson joins Nashville’s Roman Josi and Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman as the three finalists. Carlson is aiming for his first career Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top defenseman. Carlson could become the second player in franchise history to claim the prestigious award since Rod Langway in 1982-83 and 1983- 84. Carlson’s 75 points in 69 games this season (15g, 60a) led all defensemen, 10 points ahead Josi and 20 points ahead of Hedman, who finished second and third among defensemen in points, respectively. Carlson is the eighth defenseman in NHL history to hold a 10 point lead over the next highest scoring defenseman and a 20 point lead over the third highest scoring defenseman and the first since Erik Karlsson (Ottawa) in 2011-12. Karlsson won the Norris Trophy that season. Carlson enters the 2019-20 playoffs as the Capitals’ all-time leader among defensemen in playoff points (60), goals (18) and games (107). COMEBACK KIDS – During the 2019-20 season, the Capitals won 21 games after trailing by at least one goal at some point in the game, tied with the St. Louis Blues for the most instances in the NHL. Washington also held a 17-16-3 record when they allowed the game’s first goal, the second-highest win percentage in the NHL (.472). Additionally, the Capitals’ 11-12-3 record when trailing after the first period marked the second-highest win percentage in the NHL (.423), while their 9-17-2 record when trailing after the second period marked the highest win percentage in the NHL (.321). The Capitals are the only team in the NHL that ranked in the top two in each of the three categories. PENALTY S-KILL – The Capitals penalty kill ranked sixth in the NHL, killing 199 of the 241 penalties they faced (82.6 percent). That’s a 3.7 percent improvement from last year’s penalty kill (78.9 percent), which ranked 24th in the NHL. The Capitals allowed 42.22 shots per 60 minutes of penalty kill time this season, the second lowest rate in the NHL. Jonas Siegenthaler (203:46), Radko Gudas (172:16) and Carl Hagelin (169:30) led the Capitals in penalty kill ice time, and all three established full time roles with the Capitals within the last year. Additionally, Nick Jensen’s 2.98 power play goals against per 60 minutes of penalty kill time ranked first in the NHL among players with at least 120 minutes played on the penalty kill this season. Washington Capitals vs. Carolina – 7.29.20 SAT% - This season, the Capitals’ 51.6 shot attempt percentage at five-on-five was the third-highest total since the NHL began tracking the data in 2009-10 (2009-10: 52.8 shot attempt percentage; 2016-17: 51.8 shot attempt percentage). Lars Eller led the Capitals with a 55.8 shot attempt percentage at five-on- five (908 shot attempts for, 717 against), which was the third-highest percentage by a Capital since the NHL began recording the data in 2009-10 (Alex Ovechkin, 2009-10: 57.6 shot attempt percentage; Nicklas Backstrom, 2009-10: 56.5 shot attempt percentage). SWEET NICKY - Nicklas Backstrom enters the 2019-20 playoffs ranked first on the franchise’s playoff assist list (70) and second in games played (123), goals (36) and points (106). His four playoff overtime goals are the most in franchise history, and no other player has more than two. Backstrom is one of just four active players with at least four playoff overtime goals (Patrick Kane: 5; Corey Perry and Patrick Marleau: 4).

  • Vision Training for Goaltenders It's Hard to Imagine Any NHL Goalie
    Vision training for Goaltenders It's hard to imagine any NHL goalie getting ready to play or practice without a series of dynamic stretches and movements designed to warm up the key muscles required to stop pucks. For many goalies, though, the most important muscles are in their head. "Your biggest muscle as a goalie is your eyes," Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby said. "I do a lot of visual training in my pregame routine to warm up my eyes and keep them sharp. If you're not seeing it, nothing else matters. Your eyes are the basis of your whole game." Whether it's bouncing balls off a wall or standing at the bench hours before the game with his eyes darting around an empty arena, warming up the eyes is a big part of Holtby's well-documented pregame routine. He's hardly the only one. Spend enough time in the bowels of NHL arenas before a game and you will see goalies juggling as often as stretching. "I use it as a warmup for my eyes just to get my focus and concentration going, watching the ball spin, watching it into my hand," said Richard Bachman, who has seen time with the Vancouver Canucks this season in addition to playing in the American Hockey League. "I try to incorporate the vision and tracking that I use on the ice with a tennis ball." Increasingly, that focus on being able to better focus the eyes is extending beyond warmups as more NHL goalies, coaches and even teams add vision training to their offseason.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips December 31, 2015 Capitals score 4 in third, rally for 5-2 win over Sabres By Jeff Seidel AP December 31, 2015 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Capitals entered the third period Wednesday night with key players injured, missing good scoring chances and trailing by a goal. Then Alex Ovechkin scored twice during a four-goal rally and the Capitals beat the Buffalo Sabres 5-2 to extend their winning streak to nine games and overtake the Dallas Stars for the NHL points lead. "Tonight, you saw some backbone when it was needed," Washington coach Barry Trotz said. "It (was) an opportunity for guys to step up and they did. There wasn't any excuses." The four-goal third period came after the team lost forward Jay Beagle to an upper-body injury and center Nicklas Backstrom to an unspecific injury in the second period. Beagle will undergo surgery and miss significant time. Backstrom's injury was not disclosed and he could play Thursday at the Carolina Hurricanes. Washington already was playing without top defenseman John Carlson, out with a lower-body injury. Despite that, the Capitals turned around Buffalo's 2-1 lead quickly. "We are pretty relentless as a team," Washington goalie Braden Holtby said. "(Obviously, the injuries) makes it tougher. Those guys play a huge role on our team but we are just going to have to find different ways to win if they are out. " Trotz shifted Marcus Johansson from left wing to center and moved Evgeny Kuznetsov to center on the top line.
