0 – Number of non-shootout wins the Capitals have since the outset of the 2012-13 season in which they’ve scored two goals or fewer (no other team has fewer than three such wins). Over that span, the Caps have 16 non-shootout losses in which their opponent scored two or fewer and, going back one more season, the Caps are still at the bottom of that initial list of low-goal wins.
