5 – Number of consecutive wins on the road in games in which the Capitals have had the chance to eliminate their opponent. That winning streak includes their last three series this year, as well as last year’s first-round victory over Toronto and the Game 6 win over the Flyers the year before.
The last time the Caps lost in a potential elimination game on the road was that same Flyers series back in 2016, when they went into Philadelphia up 3-0 and lost Game 4.
