The Noon Number: Top of the Class
Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images9 - Number of division titles earned by the Capitals over the last 12 years, earning the Southeast Division crown five times (2007-08 through 2010-11 and again in 2012-13) and the Metropolitan Division each of the last four years. No other team in the NHL has won as many over that span - the closest are Anaheim and Vancouver, who have each accumulated five division titles since the 2007-08 season.
In fact, dating back to 1999-00, when the Caps brought home their first non-Patrick Division title, they’ve captured 11 of the last 19, which is also tops in the League (Detroit rolls into second with nine over that span).
