The Noon Number: Unlucky Seven

6 - Number of times in Capitals’ franchise history, including last night, in which they’ve scored at least seven goals and lost. To find the last time it happened you have to go back almost 30 years, when they again suffered an 8-7 loss (albeit in regulation) in Pittsburgh early in the 1988-89 season.

The most eventful of the six, however, was likely the first one of the six back in February 1981. That night resulted in an 11-7 drubbing at the hands of the Quebec Nordiques... a game in which the famed Stastny brothers, Anton and Peter, accumulated an incredible 8 points apiece.
