The Washington Capitals recorded an 8-4-1 record in December, ranking as the tenth best in the NHL despite missing their top scorer, showcasing resilience.
Despite the drop in points percentage each month, the Capitals are still expected to finish the season with a significant 24-point improvement over last year.
Subpar performance against lower-ranked teams raises questions, but the team's trajectory has improved dramatically compared to preseason predictions.
Analysts had previously deemed the Capitals as a team in decline, yet their current performance indicates they are exceeding expectations and showing considerable growth.
