15 – Number of days remaining until the start of the Capitals’ 2019-20 season. But it’s also…
…the number of seasons Alex Ovechkin will have appeared in when he takes the ice on opening night, tying him with Calle Johansson for the most seasons as a Capital. Ovechkin already holds the franchise record in games played with 1084 (passing Johansson for that honor back in 2017-18), and is currently the team leader in all-time goals (658), points (1211), power-play goals (247), power-play points (464), game-winning goals (107) and overtime winners (22).
Happy birthday, captain!
