2 – Number of days remaining until the start of the Washington Capitals’ 50th season. But it’s also…
…the number of players in franchise history who have scored at least 100 playoff points as a Capital. The two in question? None other than Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, who have piled up 141 and 114 respectively. Ovechkin and Backstrom are two of just 110 players in the league’s history to hit 100+ points in the postseason, and two of 16 active NHLers to have crossed the century mark in playoff points (and yes, we’re still counting Backstrom as active, shut up).
