Looking at the Caps' lack of much in the way of fisticuffs so far this year
0 – Number of fighting majors the Capitals have earned through eight games this year, making them one of just six teams without a fighting major so far.
That marks the longest the Caps have gone without a fight to start the season since 2006-07, a season that also started with eight fightless games. The streak was broken when Chris Clark took on Vancouver's Kevin Bieksa in the Caps' ninth game of the season, a 3-2 shootout loss.
