As the Caps hit the halfway point of their season last Sunday, it’s time for us to check in.
Coming into the season, the narrative surrounding the Caps was that they’d suffer a Stanley Cup hangover (literally, not just as a figure of speech) and struggle in the early part of the season. Sure enough, it did take the Caps some time to get going. Through 20 games, they sat at effectively .500, with a record of 10-7-3.
But the second quarter of the season has been fantastic for the reigning champs. Win streaks of 7, 5, and 4 games propelled the Caps to a 25-12-4 record. They sit first in the Metropolitan division with 54 points, two points ahead of the Penguins with a game in hand. For a team expected to spend the season recovering, that’s pretty impressive.
