The Noon Number: Hitting the Ocean from the Pier

40 Capitals‘ Corsi Shooting Percentage (i.e. goals divided by total shot attempts; in this case, 6-for-15) with the opposing net empty, which ranks 21st in the League (Ottawa leads the way at four-for-four, Florida is bringing up the rear at 1-for-9).

In Monday night’s win over Colorado, the Caps had four shot attempts after Semyon Varlamov had been pulled, three of which were blocked and one which missed the net (two attempts apiece for Eric Fehr and Brooks Laich). That represented the second-highest shot-attempt total at an opponent’s empty net without scoring a goal this season, with only an 0-for-6 from Dallas against the Rangers a couple of weeks back topping it.
