The Washington Capitals love round-number accomplishments, but Thursday night against the Devils, they celebrated something even greater than that.
With their 5-2 throttling of New Jersey, the Capitals returned to the top of the league standings and captured their 69th standings point.

Yes, Capitals and Nationals Twitter accounts. I agree.
This is the second straight month the Capitals have had a nice accomplishment. In December, Tom Wilson scored his historic 69th career goal.
