Where the head-to-head numbers come from
All-time records come from the NHL's records database, which counts every regular-season and playoff meeting between two franchises, including relocated ones (the Flames' Atlanta years count for Calgary). It usually includes this season's games within a day; when it has not caught up yet, we add this season's meetings from our own results and show them separately. The 252 regular-season meetings between Washington Capitals and New York Rangers include ties from before 2005 and overtime losses since.
An all-time record is mostly history: rosters turn over completely every decade, so a franchise's record from the 1980s says nothing about tonight. Recent meetings tell you more, and even ten games is a small sample.
For betting, head-to-head history is already in the price at best and noise at worst; current team strength, goalies and rest decide games. Use this page for the rivalry, and the team pages and odds for tonight.
