25 – Number of days remaining until the start of the Washington Capitals’ 2023-24 season. But it’s also…
…the number of wins for the 2022-23 Capitals when leading after the second period. Not only was that in the bottom third of the league last season, but it was also the team’s fewest wins after a second-period lead since they put up just 24 in 2013-14.
The biggest culprit? Overtime losses, of which there were five, tied for the most in the league.
