With a record of 40-14-8, they are now on pace to surpass last season's 91 points. The team's performance has also improved their goal differential and standings, with 223 goals scored compared to last year's 220 in more games. They lead the Metropolitan Division and are currently projected to face the Ottawa Senators in the playoffs.
To get to the 40-win mark, the Capitals needed to come from behind and win for the 20th time this season, a league-best mark.
