The Washington Capitals currently sit atop the Metropolitan Division standings with a 53-16-5 record (that's crazy). In 74 games, the Capitals have collected 111 points — which is good enough for not only best in the division, but best in the entire NHL.
In their most recent game, the Capitals were shut out by the red-hot St. Louis Blues (45-22-9) at Verizon Center, a rare off night for Washington and an even rarer night when they don't score at least one goal. But give credit to the Blues and Jake Allen (who made 32 saves); St. Louis hasn’t allowed a goal in 240:18, the longest run in its history.
