3 - Number of consecutive Caps wins in which Daniel Sprong scored the game-winning goal, including last night’s victory over the Rangers.
In franchise history, no player has ever scored the game-winner in three-straight regular-season games (though Sprong would have, had the Caps had been able to hold on after taking a 4-3 lead last Thursday). But the feat that Sprong just pulled off (GWGs in three-straight Caps regular-season wins in the same season) has only been accomplished ten times previously, most recently 13 years ago:
- Daniel Sprong, 4/24/21 - 5/3/21 (span of five games)
- Alex Ovechkin, 1/31/08 - 2/6/08 (four games)
- Kip Miller, 1/22/03 - 1/30/03 (five games)
- Jaromir Jagr, 10/12/02 - 10/23/02 (five games)
- Peter Bondra, 1/13/01 - 1/24/01 (five games)
- Peter Bondra, 11/13/97 - 11/23/97 (five games)
- Dino Ciccarelli, 3/17/92 - 3/27/92 (five games)
- John Druce, 11/6/90 - 11/21/90 (eight games)
- Bengt Gustafsson, 2/7/86 - 2/18/86 (five games.
