Can the Caps Hit 90+ Points?
The Capitals just barely hit 90 points last season, earning 91 points and barely making it into the playoffs as a wild-card team in the Eastern Conference bracket. The Caps can get there again in 2024-25 considering they improved their roster by adding a handful of players, but the team will need to improve that -37 goal differential from last year by a wide margin in order to have a shot.
