3 - Number of times that the Capitals have had four off days between games this season, including this most recent stretch before their visit to Montreal later this week. Last year they only had a four-day break once (along with a lengthier rest during the All-Star break); the year before, just twice (plus the Olympic layoff).
In fact, the last time they had this much rest in a season was back in the 2007-08 campaign, when it happened three times before the end of December.
