24 – Number of days remaining until the start of the Washington Capitals’ 50th season. But it’s also…
…the number of teams the Caps have faced at least 82 times in their history (i.e. a full season’s worth of games in modern times). Unsurprisingly, the team they’ve played the most over the last 50 years? The Pittsburgh Penguins, with 247 head-to-head meetings, followed closely behind by the New York Rangers (244), the New York Islanders, and the Philadelphia Flyers (242 apiece).
