With Carolina’s 3-0 loss at Buffalo on Tuesday, the Capitals clinched the 2024-25 Metropolitan Division title. It marks Washington’s 14th division title in franchise history and 11th since 2007-08. The Capitals’ 11 division titles since 2007-08 are the most in the NHL, with the next closest teams having six division titles in the 18-year span (Boston and Vancouver, six each). It also marks the Capitals’ sixth Metropolitan Division title since the division was formed in 2013-14. No other Metro team has won more than two division titles in that time.

The Capitals (49-19-9, 107 points) sit atop the Eastern Conference standings and own the second-best record in the NHL. Washington is currently on pace for 113 points, which would mark the fourth-highest total in franchise history (2009-10: 121 points; 2015-16: 120 points; 2016-17: 118 points). The Capitals can secure the franchise’s sixth 50-win season with a victory on Thursday. Should Washington (49 wins in 77 GP) beat Carolina, it would tie for the fourth-fewest games needed to reach the 50-win mark in franchise history (2015-16: 69 GP; 2016-17: 75 GP; 2009-10: 77 GP; 1985-86: 78 GP).
