10 – Number of players on the current Caps’ roster who have already matched or surpassed career highs in goals, assists, points (for skaters) or wins (for goalies). T.J. Oshie became the latest to match a previous career high with his 21st goal on Saturday night.
For some, of course, this new individual achievement is simply a product of increased playing time; for others, it’s a product of – and at the same time, a reason for – what has been a successful season for the team overall.
Here’s a look at all 10:

T.J. Oshie | 68 | 21 (21) | 22 | 43 |
