12 – Number of wins for the Capitals since November 1, most in the Eastern Conference (one behind Nashville’s 13, League-wide).
The Caps’ 12-5-0 record since the beginning of last month translates to a .706 points percentage, which actually doesn’t lead the Conference; that honor belongs to tonight’s opponent, the New York Rangers, whose 11-3-0 mark is a League-best .786 points percentage.
