7 – Number of days remaining until the Caps open the 2014-15 season. But it’s also…
…the number of wins earned by the Caps in 2013-14 when trailing after two periods, tied for the third-highest total in the League; five of the seven wins were captured via the shootout (which is wholly unsurprising). In all seven, the game-tying goal was scored in the game’s final ten minutes… with one memorable equalizer scored in the final minute of regulation.
