Washington Capitals
Last time out (Tue, Apr 14): WSH 2 - 1 CBJ — a win over the Blue Jackets.
Capitals: a outshot/run-and-gun team (0.0% 5v5 xG) with league-average goaltending, flagged for regression (2 signals).
No scheduled fixture on file — counts from published recaps; OT/SO losses count as losses
- PDO 1.018 — running hot at 5v5; expect negative regression.
- Team finishing is -10 goals below xG — finishing should rebound.
How hard is this team’s season, logistically? This grades the schedule itself — travel, rest, and clustering — separate from how good the team is.
