A Tale of Two Months Where we compare offensive production in January to that of February, two months that look like two different seasons. Share this story Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports The Washington Capitals have 18 games in the ledger for the 2020-21 season, nine in January and nine in February. Looking at their offensive performance, it looks more like two different seasons than two different months. The Capitals had the third-ranked scoring offense in the league in January, averaging 3.78 goals per game over nine games. Through nine games in February, ending with the 3-2 overtime loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, the Caps were tied for 16th with the New York Islanders, scoring 2.78 goals per game for the month, a full goal per game drop and a 26.5 percent drop in performance.
