  • Jason Chimera wins his first fight as a Caps. Emphasis on first. [HockeyFights.com]
  • Is Alex Ovechkin “so upset about having to pay 18 per cent of his salary to escrow he is prepared to pondering [sic] leaving the Capitals after this season”? I’m preparing to ponder thinking about possibly considering perhaps maybe answering that question. [Sportsnet]

Beaupre became the 26th goalie in NHL history to reach 500 games.” Nine years later, “Adam Oates become the 8th player in NHL history to pick up 1,000 career assists, and Olaf Kolzig recorded his second consecutive shutout (the 24th of his career) in the Capitals 1-0 win in overtime against the visiting Boston Bruins. “
