Capitals 4 - Flyers 1: Brought to You by the Number...

22

Shots allowed by the Capitals defense last night. In a stifling performance, Olie Kolzig got a night off, only having to make 21 saves. The Flyers only got double-digit shots in one period, the first, and were held to 12 combined shots in the second and third periods. On the season, Washington usually averaged 12 shots against per period.

By giving up only 22 shots last night, Washington's shots per game has decreased .7 shots per game (from 36.0 to 35.3) but are still the worst in the league. Washington has a .600 win percentage when outshooting their opponents.

Note: with his goal last night, Alex Ovechkin now has 22 on the year and is tied for the league lead in goals. He is tied for third in the league in points with 43 (Sidney Crosby has 52 and Jaromir Jagr has 46).
