Top 3 keys to victory for the Capitals against Golden Knights
#1 Continue the momentum from last month
As we’ve talked about before and I’m sure you’ve heard it from other media, last season when the Caps had that hot December they fell flat the rest of the season. They can’t allow that this season.
In the month of November 2023 the Capitals posted a record of 8-3-1 with a .708 point percentage. The stretch marked Washington’s highest point percentage in a month of November since 2019 where they went 10-2-2 with a .786 point percentage.
The Caps .708 point percentage during the month was the third highest in the NHL behind the New York Rangers with .792 and the Los Angeles Kings with .773.
The Caps sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 12-6-2 which is good for 26 points and a .650 point percentage. Although they sit in third place, they own the second highest point percentage among Metropolitan teams.
Washington has played the fewest games among Metropolitan Division teams with 20 games played. Nearly a quarter into the season, the Capitals are on pace for 106 points, which would mark a 26 point improvement from last season where they finished with just 80.
