12 – Number of days remaining until the start of the Washington Capitals’ 50th season. But it’s also…
…the number of times the Caps have hit double digits in goals in a single game in the team’s history. The Caps first achieved this feat in 1981, putting a 10-spot on the Broad Street Bullies…and then repeated it, and topped it, a few weeks later with an 11-goal outburst against the Maple Leafs. Their most recent 10+ goal game? For that, you have to go back to the high-flying Bruce Boudreau days and a March 2008 outing against the Bruins.
