16 – Consecutive games the Capitals have played without losing two-in-a-row, the longest streak in the Eastern Conference (but trailing Anaheim (17), Chicago (29) and Nashville (all season, remarkably)).
Over those 16 games, the Caps have compiled a 11-1-4 record and now have the most points they’ve had through 40 games (50) since the 2010-11 season (when they had 51). They’ve also played five-consecutive Monday-through-Sunday weeks with two wins and a loss, a streak they can push to six with a win on Saturday night against Detroit.
