It will mark just the second time in the NHL’s modern era (1943-44) the two previous Stanley Cup Champions play their firstregular-season game versus each other (Toronto vs. Chicago, 1962-63). The Capitals are 44-42-12-1 all-time against the Blues and 4-2-0 over the last three seasons. NOTE OF THE NIGHTFive Years of Excellence - The Capitals enter 2019-20 having won the Metropolitan Division in each of the last four seasons, whilealso recording 100 or more standings points in five consecutive campaigns. They are one of 10 teams in NHL history to hit the 100point mark in at least five straight seasons, with the Anaheim Ducks (5; 2013-14—2017-18) the last team to do so. The only streakslonger than five seasons were achieved by the Red Wings (12; 1999-00—2011-12), Canadiens (8; 1974-75—1981-82) and Oilers (6;1981-82—1986-87). The Capitals have recorded the most points (548) and the second most wins (253) in the NHL during that span.Additionally, the Capitals have won the most team awards during that span with four division titles, two Presidents’ Trophies, one Princeof Whales Trophy and one Stanley Cup. TOP FIVE CAPS FACTSOne of 82 - The Capitals have a 21-21-1-1 record all-time in season openers and are 3-0-2 over the last five seasons. AlexOvechkin has recorded 17 points (10g, 7a) in 14 season-opening games, and his 10 goals in season openers are tied with Zach Parisefor the most among active players, as are his 17 points (tied with San Jose's Joe Thornton). Nicklas Backstrom’s 14 assists in 11season-opening contests are the most among active players, two shy of tying Gary Suter (16a in 15 games) and Joe Sakic (16a in 20games) for 10th place on the NHL’s all-time list. Teen D-Man - Martin Fehervary is set to make his NHL debut at the age of 19 years and 361 days old. He becomes the 10thdefenseman in franchise history to make his NHL debut before the age of 20 and the first since Connor Carrick on Oct. 1, 2013.Fehervary, who was selected with the Capitals' second round pick, 46th overall, in the 2018 NHL Draft, is also the first player selectedoutside of the first round to make his NHL debut before the age of 20 since Samuel Girard (Nashville, selected in the second round,47th overall, in the 2016 NHL Draft) on Oct. 10, 2017. Fehervary registered seven points (1g, 6a) for HV-71 in the Swedish HockeyLeague in 45 games during the 2018-2019 season. He also captained Team Slovakia during the World Junior Championship, recordingfive points (1g, 4a) in five games. Additionally, Fehervary represented Slovakia during the 2019 IIHF World Championship, recording anassist in seven games. Great 8 - Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin is entering his 15th season with Washington this year. The franchise’s all-time leader ingames played (1,084) enters the season with 658 career goals, and Ovechkin currently sits in 13th place on the NHL’s all-time list, 11

Washington Capitals: Media Notes

goals shy of passing Luc Robitaille (668) for 12th place all-time. Should Ovechkin record another 50 goals this season, which wouldmark his ninth 50-goal season in his career, Ovechkin will tie Mike Gartner (708) for the seventh most goals in NHL history and passRobitaille (668), Teemu Selanne (684), Mario Lemieux (690), Steve Yzerman (692) and Mark Messier (694). Ovechkin became the12th-fastest player in NHL history to reach the 650-goal mark last season and just the fourth player in NHL history to record at least 650goals with the same team (Detroit’s Gordie Howe and Yzerman, Lemieux). Ovechkin has won 17 individual awards in his 14 seasons:eight Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophies (2007-08, 2008-09, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2017-18, 2018-19), three HartMemorial Trophies (2007-08, 2008-09, 2012-13), three Ted Lindsay Awards (2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10), an Art Ross Trophy (2007-08), a Conn Smythe Trophy (2017-18) and a Calder Memorial Trophy (2005-06). He is the only player in NHL history to win a StanleyCup, a Conn Smythe, a Calder Memorial, an Art Ross, a Hart, a Ted Lindsay and a Maurice Richard Trophy. Holtbeast - Braden Holtby enters the 2019-20 season with a five season streak with at least 30 wins, joining Nashville’s Pekka Rinneand Minnesota’s Devan Dubnyk as the only other goaltenders with the active streak. Holtby’s 197 wins over that span rank first in theNHL, 19 more than Rinne, who ranks second. Should Holtby record another 30 wins in 2019-20, he would become just the10th goaltender in NHL history to string together six consecutive seasons with at least 30 wins. Holtby recorded three consecutiveseasons with at least 40 wins from 2014-15 to 2016-17, one of just three goaltenders in NHL history to accomplish the feat, and his 48wins in the 2015-16 season are tied with Martin Brodeur for the most wins by a goaltender in a single season. Holtby was selected inthe fourth round, 93rd overall, in the 2008 NHL Draft, the 10th goaltender selected overall. Holtby leads his draft class with 257 winsand is only 13 wins shy of matching the total wins of the nine goalies selected ahead of him. With three shutouts last season, Holtbytied Olie Kolzig (35) for the most shutouts in franchise history. Super Carly - John Carlson was named as the Capitals' alternate captain for the 2019-20 season. Last season, Carlson’s 70 points(13g, 57a) ranked fourth in the NHL among defensemen, while his 57 assists were tied for second. With 403 career points, Carlsonbecame the fifth defenseman in franchise history to reach the 400-point milestone, joining Calle Johansson (474), Scott Stevens (429),Kevin Hatcher (426) and Sergei Gonchar (416). He was named to the 2019 NHL All-Star Game in San Jose for the first time in hiscareer, and, following the season, was named to the NHL’s Second All-Star Team and finished fourth in the Norris Trophy vote. With688 career games, Carlson ranks third in franchise history in games played among defensemen and is one of eight defensemen toreach the 600-game mark.
