The Washington Capitals penalty kill has gotten off to a pretty good start. Early on this season, the team has had to kill off 18 penalties. They have successfully killed 83.3% of those penalties. Their ranking has them tied for ninth, but it is early in the season. If the Capitals had the same percentage at the end of last season they would have been ranked fifth.
Last season the Capitals finished sixth in penalty kill percentage killing 82.6% of the penalties they took.
