  • Ten #Nhlstats About the Washington Capitals, Who Are Headed to the Postseason for the Seventh Consecutive Season and 31St Time in Franchise History
    Ten #NHLStats about the Washington Capitals, who are headed to the postseason for the seventh consecutive season and 31st time in franchise history. 1. Washington has reached the postseason for the 13th time in 14 seasons (since 2007-08), one of two clubs to do so in 2020-21 – the Pittsburgh Penguins have extended their active run to 15 straight postseason appearances. 2. The Capitals’ run of seven consecutive postseason appearances is the second-longest stretch in franchise history (14 straight trips from 1983 to 1996). It also is the second-longest active run in the NHL behind the Penguins (15; 2007–2021) and ahead of the Nashville Predators (6; 2015–2020) – Nashville can match Washington this season. 3. Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, who between them have the Capitals records for career playoff goals, assists, points and games played, will extend 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 Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, PIT; David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron, BOS; Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, CHI; Patrick Marleau and Logan Couture, SJS). 4. Alex Ovechkin ranks 18th in NHL history with 69 career playoff goals, trailing only Patrick Marleau (72) among active players, and is among the top 50 in career playoff points (131; 44th). Ovechkin has scored at least four goals in 11 of his 12 previous postseason appearances, second to only Wayne Gretzky (12x) for the most such playoff performances.

    NHL MORNING SKATE – JAN. 31, 2020 THREE HARDS * Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi and the Predators outlasted the Devils in a back-and-forth, 11- goal affair that featured five game-tying goals – the NHL’s fifth such contest in 2019-20. * Alex Iafallo completed his first hat trick and became the third player in NHL history to score within the opening 25 seconds of an overtime period multiple times in a single season. * After Jack Eichel’s 30th goal gave the Sabres an early lead, 36-year-old Ilya Kovalchuk and 20-year-old Nick Suzuki propelled the Canadiens to their 10th comeback win of the season. JOSI, FORSBERG PROPEL PREDATORS IN BACK-AND-FORTH AFFAIR Filip Forsberg (2-0—2) scored one of the contest’s five game-tying goals and Roman Josi (0- 2—2) eclipsed the 50-point mark as the Predators (24-19-7, 55 points) outlasted the Devils in a back-and-forth, 11-goal affair. * Forsberg, who leads the Predators with 18 goals this season, scored his 162nd and 163rd career tallies (all w/ NSH) to move within two of a franchise-best sixth 20-goal campaign. In the process, he tied Martin Erat (163-318—481 in 723 GP) for the third-most in Predators history, behind David Legwand (210-356—566 in 956 GP) and Shea Weber (166-277—443 in 763 GP). * Conversely, Josi leads the team with 14-37—51 through 50 games in 2019-20 and joined Washington’s John Carlson (13-47—60) as the second defenseman to reach the 50-point mark this season.
