26 - Number of times this season in which the Capitals have given up at least two goals in a five-minute span, including last night in Toronto when they ceded two second-period goals in just 3:08. 16 of those were in a span of less than three minutes, and three of those were in less than one minute (which... woof).
On five separate occasions they’ve given up three goals in under five minutes, the most recent being a three-goal outburst by St. Louis in the span of 4:42, and in their loss to Nashville last week they gave up goals 2:49 apart and immediately followed that up with a goal just under five minutes later.
