6 – Number of even-strength goals scored by the Caps in last night’s victory over the Flames. Prior to last night’s game, they’d scored seven goals at five-on-five over the first four games combined.
Not surprisingly, it’s been a bit of a lengthy run since the last time they exploded for at least six goals at even strength. The last time? A 7-6 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on February 16, 2011.
