22 - Number of days remaining until the 2017-18 season. But it’s also...
...the number of wins earned by the Capitals last season in which they scored at least three more goals than their opponent. That’s the second-most in the League, behind only the Penguins (24); on the flip side, they were only blown out eight times, tied for the third-fewest.
Of their 55 wins overall, a League-best 35 were by a margin of at least two goals - not surprising considering the Caps also led the NHL in goal differential, outscoring opponents by 84 goals over the course of the season.
