5 – Number of days remaining until the 2015-16 season. But it’s also…
…the number of goals scored by Evgeny Kuznetsov in the shootout last season (in nine attempts, a 55.6% conversion rate) – tops among all 14 different Caps to take a turn in the skills competition in 2014-15. It’s also one more than the four shootout goals (on 11 attempts) scored by T.J. Oshie in St. Louis last year… which means the Caps now have a pretty lethal one-two shootout punch, should they require it.
