Here's how Washington did in the regular season over the last three years:
| Season | Goal Diff | Points |
| 2010-11 | +27 | 107 |
| 2009-10 | +85 | 121 |
| 2008-09 | +27 | 108 |
They've made some smart moves this year, including getting Tomas Vokoun on an absolute steal of a one-year contract. How will they do this season?
