Since getting blown out by the Colorado Avalanche last Monday, the Caps have won four straight games. They are currently in the middle of a five game Canadian road trip, playing the Edmonton Oilers tonight before heading to Vancouver tomorrow and finishing up in Toronto on Tuesday. In their most recent game against the Flames, defenseman John Carlson scored two goals, extending his point streak to eight games and making him only the fourth defenseman to record 20 points in the month of October.
The Caps have been able to win five games with their strong shooting percentage of 9.
