0 - Number of shots on goal registered by the Caps in six minutes of power-play time in Wednesday night’s loss to Edmonton. That’s just the fourth time this year a team has had six minutes with the extra man and failed to put a puck on net, and the first time the Caps have done it since before the start of the 2007-08 season (Natural Stat Trick’s data starts there).

In fact, the Caps were only credited with two shot attempts on those three power plays (a Daniel Sprong wrister that went wide in the second period and a John Carlson shot that was blocked by an Oiler defender).
