Career Years — Can the Uncommon Become Common?

A Stanley Cup champions requires contributions in depth. Certainly the Washington Capitals had that on offense in 2017-2018. Eleven players recorded at least ten goals in the regular season, and 13 skaters finished with 20 or more points. The contributions were spread around in the postseason as well. Nine skaters had five or more goals (there was also a different nine-skater group with game winning goals), and 17 skaters had five or more points.

There is, however, a different way to look at such a thing, and will be another thing to watch for as the 2018-2019 season gets underway.
