The Noon Number: Osh-Even

16 – Number of goals scored at five-on-five by T.J. Oshie this season, including his second period tally last night. That ties Oshie’s career high in even-strength goals (a mark he’s hit twice, 2009-10 and 2014-15), with 27 games remaining in the 2016-17 season.

Oshie now also leads the Caps in that department, narrowly edging out Alex Ovechkin‘s 15, and is also among the top 10 in the League in five-on-five goals (top 20 for all even-strength).

Oshie’s even-strength production is part of an overall team improvement at even strength. The Caps currently hold the League’s top spot in total five-on-five GF (131, with Minnesota in second with 127) and GF60 (3.01, ahead of Pittsburgh’s 2.97).
