The Washington Capitals Have It All

from Dave Hodge of TSN,

“Thumbs up” to the Washington Capitals, because … can you think of a reason why not?

They lead their division by a whopping 17 points, the Eastern Conference by 12, and they sit atop the full league standings with the second-place Chicago Blackhawks six points behind.

It follows that the Caps win wherever they play, so both the home and road records are best in the league. And so is their power play and the penalty killing ranks 4th.

Alex Ovechkin has his 11th straight 30-goal season. Evgeny Kuznetsov is this year’s breakout player. T.J. Oshie and Justin Williams were “just what the doctor ordered” off-season acquisitions that could make Brian MacLellan the NHL’s top executive.
