The Noon Number: 2 – Number of players in the League with at least 19 goals and 100 hits: Alex Ovechkin (30 and 109) and Troy Brouwer (19 and 104).
(For what it’s worth, the Caps are averaging around two hits more per home game than road match, so it’s quite possible they’re being over-counted at Verizon Center. Also, yes, “hits” is an inconsistently kept stat at best, and a negative one at the team level. Still… hits and goals! Hockey!)
