4 – Number of times in the last six meetings that the Capitals and Canadiens have required overtime or a shootout to decide a winner. Five of those six games (dating back to the start of the 2013-14 season) were one-goal games, with a Caps’ 5-0 victory in Montreal being the lone exception.
The two teams have split the series over the last two seasons, with each team winning once in regulation and twice in overtime or the shootout.
