The Noon Number: Shots Not Fired

374 - Shots on goal the Capitals have allowed through 15 games, fewest in the League and the fewest for the team over a 15-game span since they allowed just 372 during the stretch from November 28 through December 29, 2007 (a.k.a. games four through 18 of the Boudreau Era).

Graphically, the Caps' 15-game rolling shots-against since the 2004-05 lockout looks like this:

15G SOGA

What makes the current shot-suppression span all the more impressive is, knowing what we know about score effects, the fact that the Caps have done it while playing with the lead 33.
