The Noon Number: .500 - Capitals' home-ice points percentage in 2013 via a 7-7-0 record.

Over the previous four seasons, the team banked 73.5% of the points available to them at Verizon Center (including 68.3% a season ago), and the seven regulation losses before the red-rocking crowd through the current campaign's first two months is already two more than they had in 2009-10, when they went 30-5-6 on their home sheet.
