With victories in Braden Holtby's last two starts, the HoltBEAST inches closer to Martin Brodeur's single-season win record. He needs two more victories to tie that record, three more to best it, and there are seven games remaining in the season.

#Roaring20s
With an empty-net goal last night, Nicklas Backstrom joins the Roaring20sClub alongside several other Caps:
Alex Ovechkin (stalled at 43)
TJ Oshie (24 - career high)
Justin Williams (22 - career high is 33)
Evgeny Kuznetsov (20 - career high)
Nicklas Backstrom (20 - career high is 33)
Just south of the 20-goal plateau are three more Caps, who have seven games to reach that mark.
Jason Chimera (18 - career high is 20)
Andre Burakovksy (16 - career high)
Marcus Johansson (15 - career high is 20)
#CapsWatch
With that totally embarrassing loss to the St. Louis Blues, who are in fact a pretty good team, the Capitals have lost their opportunity to have the best scoring record since the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings. They can still catch (and surpass) the 2005-06 Red Wings' record, with the same number of victories the HoltBEAST needs to catch and surpass Marty Brodeur.
