Number of the day: Attack dog

We at RMNB are using this space to track some notable and noteworthy numbers in the world of the Washington Capitals. It’s an idea we thought of.

In today’s episode: Jay Beagle makes the opponent pay.

69
The number of hits from Jay Beagle during the regular season.

That’s the biggest total from Beagle in three years. Beagle also found a way to escape violence, limiting opponents to just 45 hits on him by not having the puck much actually.

And so ends this stupid, stupid series that was a waste of everyone’s time and nothing you say will change my mind.

By the way, here are some more numbers:

  • 69 – era-adjusted points scored by John Carlson this season
  • 69 – takeaways by Brett Connolly is in his career
  • 69% – share of 5v5 goals belonging to the Caps in the playoffs when Christian Djoos was on the ice
  • .69 – points scored per game by TJ Oshie since he joined the Capitals
  • 69 – shot attempts by Matt Niskanen in the playoffs
  • 69 – shot attempts by Michal Kempny in the playoffs
  • 69 – number of era-adjusted points scored by John Carlson this season
  • 69 – number of takeaways by Brett Connolly is in his career
  • 69% – share of 5v5 goals belonging to the Caps in the playoffs when Christian Djoos was on the ice
  • .69 – number of points scored per game by TJ Oshie since he joined the Capitals
  • 69 – number of shot attempts by Matt Niskanen in the playoffs
  • 69 – number of shot attempts by Michal Kempny in the playoffs
