30 - Number of blocked shots with which the Caps were credited in last night's win over Montreal (led by Matt Niskanen's six and Brooks Orpik and Karl Alzner adding five apiece), the most for the team since they blocked 34 on April 9, 2013 in a win in... Montreal.

Of course, we all know what racking up big block totals means - that the opposition has the puck a lot.
