1998–99 Washington Capitals season

On January 16, 1999, Kelly Miller scored just nine seconds into the overtime period to give the Caps a 3–2 road win over the Carolina Hurricanes.^[1] It would prove to be the fastest overtime goal scored during the 1998–99 regular season.^[2]

On February 3, 1999, the Caps defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning at home by a score of 10–1.^[3] Peter Bondra scored four goals in the game. It was the first time that Washington had scored ten goals in a regular-season game since December 17, 1993, when they defeated the Ottawa Senators at home by a score of 11–2.^[4]

The Caps were shut out an NHL-high 11 times.^[5] They also tied the St. Louis Blues for the fewest power-play opportunities, with just 301.^[6]
