The Capitals are all-time against the Flyers and 6--- at Capital One Arena. NOTE OF THE NIGHT Sweet Nicky - Nicklas Backstrom scored a goal versus the Florida Panthers on Jan.. With that goal, Backstrom passed Alexander Semin (97) for fifth place on the Capitals' franchise goals list, two goals shy of 00, and is looking to become the fifth player in franchise history to record 00 goals (Alex Ovechkin: 88; Peter Bondra: 7; Mike Gartner: 97; Mike Ridley: 8). Since entering the NHL in the season, Backstrom's 68 assists rank third in the NHL (Henrik Sedin: 8; Joe Thornton: 8). Backstrom is three assists shy of passing Shane Doan and Frank Mahovlich to rank 00th all-time in NHL history.

9 TOP FIVE CAPS FACTS Shooting Gallery - John Carlson became the first defenseman in franchise history to record two-0 shot games in a single season, after recording 0 shots on goal against the Florida Panthers on Jan.. Carlson is one of two defensemen in franchise history with multiple 0-shot games (Kevin Hatcher: four). Carlson recorded his third career 0 shot game on Feb., 07, against the Nashville Predators. This year, Jeff Petry (Montreal) and Zach Werenski (Columbus) have recorded at least 0 shots on goal, both doing so once. This season, Carlson's 8 points and assists rank third among NHL defensemen. Carlson's 8 points in 9 games has surpassed 7-game total last season (9g, 8a). Carlson is on pace for a career-high 6 points, which would make Carlson the eighth defenseman in franchise history to record 60 points in a season and the first since Mike Green in (76 points, 9g, 7a). Additionally, Carlson is one of 8 active defensemen with 00 career points. Star Consistency - Washington enters Wednesday's game with a record of 9--, good for 6 points and first in the Metropolitan Division. This year, the Caps lead the second place Columbus Blue Jackets by six points, two points more than they led them at this time following the All-Star break last year. Since Barry Trotz assumed the coaching position in the 0- season, the Capitals have held first place during the All-Star break in the Metropolitan Division in all four seasons. Additionally, Alex Ovechkin is leading the NHL with 0 goals. That marks the first time that Ovechkin has led the NHL in goals at the All-Star break in the last four seasons. Last season, Ovechkin scored goals leading up to the All-Star break, tied for fourth in the NHL. Another Gr8 Milestone- Alex Ovechkin recorded an assist against the Florida Panthers on Jan., marking his 00th career assist to become the second player in franchise history to reach the mark (Nicklas Backstrom, franchise leader with 68 assists).

This season, Ovechkin has assists, on pace for 8 assists, which would be his highest total over the last seven seasons. Ovechkin became the second active wing in the NHL to reach 00 assists (Daniel Sedin: 6a). Of Ovechkin's 00 assists, 06 are primary assists. Ovechkin is one of eight active players to record at least,000 career points, ranking fifth with,088 points, and is one of only two active players on that list with fewer than,000 games played (Sidney Crosby:,08 points in 8 games). Ovechkin, who currently leads the NHL with 0 goals and is on pace to record 0 goals this season, is one of just three players to record at least seven 0-goal seasons in NHL history (Wayne Gretzky, Mike Bossy: nine). In total, Ovechkin has recorded a goal against 7 different goaltenders. Flying High - Nicklas Backstrom has registered 0 points (7g, a) in 0 career games against the Flyers, the third-highest amount of points he's registered against any team. Alex Ovechkin has earned points (g, a) in 7 career games against Philadelphia. Braden Holtby is 8--8 all time against Philadelphia with a.0 goals against average and a.96 save percentage. Holts vs. Metro - In career games against the Metropolitan Division, Braden Holtby is with a. goals against average and a.9 save percentage. This season, Holtby ranks third in the NHL with wins. Holtby is one of just three goaltenders to record three-straight 0-win seasons (Martin Brodeur, Evgeni Nabokov). This year, Holtby is on pace for wins this season, and if he reaches that mark, he would be the first goaltender in NHL history with four consecutive 0-win seasons.
