The Noon Number: Pump Up the Volume

39.5 - The percentage of the Capitals' total shots on goal that came off of the stick of Alex Ovechkin in last night's 1-0 loss to Detroit. Ovechkin fired 15 of the 38 shots the Caps got on Wings' netminder Petr Mrazek, tying his career high for a single game (set way back on October 7, 2006). It was also the 41st time in his career in which he's registered double-digits in shots on goal.

All told, Ovechkin had 18 shot attempts on the night - which amazingly enough didn't come close to his personal best.
