8 – Number of teams in the Eastern Conference to crack the 100-point mark, the first time in NHL history that it’s happened. The Capitals became the eighth team to do so this season when they earned a point in their shootout loss Sunday night.
Prior to this season, the most 100-point teams in a single conference was seven, which happened in the Western Conference twice – once in 2006-07, and again in 2009-10.
