Note of the Night

ALL THAT POWER

- The Capitals are 12 for 37 on the power play in 15 games this season, good for a 32.4 power play percentage, which ranks fourth in the NHL.

- Seven different Capitals have scored power play goals: John Carlson (3), Nicklas Backstrom (3), T.J. Oshie (2), Alex Ovechkin (1), Tom Wilson (1),

Richard Panik (1) and Evgeny Kuznetsov. Only the Buffalo Sabres (9), the Los Angeles Kings (8) and the Chicago Blackhawks (8) have more players

with a power play goal.

- John Carlson is one of two defensemen in the NHL with three power play goals this season (Florida's Aaron Ekblad) and his five power play points are

tied for 11th in the NHL among defensemen.

- Since 2016-17, the Capitals' 21.9 power play percentage ranks sixth in the NHL.

- The Capitals are tied for 12th in power play goals (12) this season, despite having the second-lowest average power play opportunities per game in the

NHL (2.47).

Top Caps Facts

LEAVE IT TO VITEK

- Vitek Vanecek made 22 saves last night against the Buffalo Sabres to earn his second-straight win and improve to 7-3-2 this season, tied with

Chicago’s Kevin Lankinen (7-2-3) for the most wins among rookies and the sixth-most among all goaltenders, through games played Feb. 18.

- Vanecek has stopped 48 of the last 50 shots he has faced over the last two games, good for a .960 save percentage.

- After last Thursday’s performance, Vanecek became the fourth goaltender in franchise history to start 12 consecutive games (Jim Carey: 21-straight,

14-5-2-0 record in 1994-95; Braden Holtby: 15-straight, 8-7-0 record in 2011-12; Semyon Varlamov: 13-straight: 7-6-0 record in 2008-09).

- This season, Vanecek has recorded a 0.84 goals saved above average rating (GSAA), making him one of 11 goaltenders with at least 10 games

played to record a positive GSAA this season, through games played Feb. 18.

- Should Vanecek continue to pace the NHL in wins among rookie goaltenders, this will mark the second-consecutive season the Capitals have had a

rookie goaltender finish in the top-2 in wins (Ilya Samsonov: 16 wins in 2019-20).

SWEET NICKY

- Nicklas Backstrom leads the Capitals with 20 points (8g, 12a) in 15 games, tied for the eighth-most points in the NHL through games played Feb. 18.

He's also on a five-game point streak (3g, 4a).

- This season, Backstrom required 15 or fewer games to register 20 points in a season for the second time in his career (14 games in 2011-12).

- Backstrom has recorded a point in 13 of the Capitals' 15 games, the most games with a point in the MassMutual East Division.

- Backstrom is now four assists shy of 700 career assists, where he would become one of three active players to reach the 700 assist mark and the fifth

Swedish-born player in NHL history, joining Nicklas Lidstrom (878), Henrik Sedin (830), Mats Sundin (785) and Daniel Alfredsson (713).

- Backstrom's 0.72 assists per game are tied for the second-most among active NHL players with at least 500 assists, and that is tied for the 17th-

highest rate in NHL history among players with 500 assists.

- Backstrom's goal against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday marked his 251st career goal, tying him with Mats Naslund (251) for the 11th-most goals by a

Swedish-born player in NHL history.

BIG WILLY

- Tom Wilson scored a shorthanded goal against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday. He's scored at least one shorthanded goal in each of the last four

seasons.

- Wilson’s 13 points this season (5g, 7a) are the third most on the Capitals.

- Wilson has averaged a point per game this season (13 points in 13 games). Wilson's highest points per game rating came just last season, when he

finished with 44 points (21g, 23a) in 68 games (0.65 points per game). Wilson has improved his points per game in each of the previous four seasons.

- Wilson has nine penalty minutes in 13 games (0.69 penalty minutes per game). He has never averaged less than 1.36 penalty minutes per game in a

single season.

- Wilson's 53 hits rank first on the Capitals and 10th in the NHL.

GREAT 8

- At 711 goals, Alex Ovechkin now sits seven goals shy of passing Phil Esposito (717g) for the sixth-most goals in NHL history.

- Ovechkin’s career 0.61 goals per game rate (711g in 1,163 games) is the highest among the NHL’s eight players who have reached the 700-goal

milestone.

- Ovechkin has 146 career multi-goal games, 62 more multi-goal games than the next-closest player since Ovechkin's rookie season in 2005-06 (Sidney

Crosby: 84). That's more multi-goal games than 2,606 players have total goals during that span.

- Ovechkin has scored against 144 different NHL goaltenders. There have been 6,451 players in NHL history who have scored 144 or fewer goals in

their career.

- Ovechkin’s 15 career 30-goal campaigns trail only Gartner (17) for the most in League history. Additionally, his 15 consecutive 30-goal seasons are

tied with Gartner (1979-80–1993-94) and Jaromir Jagr (1991-92–2006-07) for the longest such run by an NHL player.

EFFICIENCY

- Conor Sheary, who has goals in two consecutive games, leads the Capitals with a 1.86 goals per 60 minutes of five-on-five play and is tied for eighth in

the NHL.

- Sheary's 10:45 minutes of five-on-five time per game is the third-lowest average in the NHL among players with at least four five-on-five goals.

- The Capitals are one of three teams to have two players average at least 1.70 goals per 60 minutes of five-on-five play in at least 10 games played in

the NHL (Sheary and Jakub Vrana: 1.73 goals per 60 minutes of five-on-five play), joining the Montreal Canadiens (Josh Anderson and Tyler Toffoli) and

the Minnesota Wild (Joel Eriksson Ek and Victor Rask).

TEAM EFFORT

- The Capitals have scored a goal in all 15 games this season.

- Washington has had 11 different players score the first goal of the game. Only Nicklas Backstrom (4 times) and Conor Sheary (2 times) have scored

the team's first goal multiple times.

- The Capitals have only allowed one goal in two-straight games. The last time the Capitals accomplished this feat was March 24 through March 26,

2019 (2 goals allowed), s/t Mike Vogel.

- The Capitals have had 18 different players score a goal this season. Only the Columbus Blue Jackets (20) and the Edmonton Oilers (19), while the

Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks also have 18.

LAR-STAR

- Lars Eller recorded an assist against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, marking his fourth-straight game with a point (1g, 3a).

- Eller's assist marked his 300th career point (134g, 166a). He's one of three Danish-born players to reach the mark (Frans Nielsen: 470 points; Mikkel

Boedker: 327 points).

- Since joining Washington in 2016-17, Eller's 144 points (61g, 83a) ranks seventh on the Capitals.

- Eller ranks first on the Capitals in face-off win percentage (53.9 percent) this season. Additionally, Eller's 53.3 face-off win percentage in the defensive

zone ranks 16th in the NHL among players with at least 75 defensive zone face-offs.

- Eller set a career high with 39 points (16g, 23a) in the shortened 2019-20 season. Eller led the Capitals with a career-high 55.8 shot attempt

percentage, the third-highest percentage by a Capital since 2009-10.

SUPER CARLY

- John Carlson is tied for ninth among NHL defensemen in points (12) through games played Feb. 16.

- Carlson is 10 points shy of 500 points. He could become one of 10 active defensemen to reach the milestone.

- Carlson is now five goals shy of passing both Mike Green (113) and Calle Johansson (113) for the third-most goals in franchise history by a

defenseman.

- During the 2019-20 season, Carlson set personal highs for points (15g, 60a) and assists in a season, leading all NHL defensemen in both respective

categories.

- Carlson’s 60 assists last season were one shy of tying the franchise record for the most by a defenseman in a single season (Scott Stevens, 1988-89:

61a), and his 75 points were six shy of the record (Larry Murphy, 1986-87: 81).
