the capitals won the patrick division in the 1988–89 season, and stevens' 68 points (including a team-leading 61 assists) led caps defencemen. he had 225 penalty minutes; this was the last time stevens would have over 200 minutes in his career. he was named to his second all-star game, and added an assist as the wales conference lost to the campbell conference 9–5. however, the caps could not translate their regular season success into the playoffs, as they lost in the first round to the flyers. the 1989–90 season saw mixed success for stevens. personally he struggled, as he was beset with injuries, including a broken foot that caused him to miss nearly two months. in addition, he was suspended for three games for gouging chicago blackhawks player dave manson in the eye during a fight. stevens said he never hit manson's eye, but that the eye hit stevens' helmet during the fight. missing a third of the season led to stevens' lowest point total since his rookie year; he finished with just 11 goals and 29 assists for 40 points, although it was still second among capitals defencemen. despite his lowered stats, the capitals made their furthest inroads in the playoffs ever. after defeating the devils in the first round and the rangers in the second round, the capitals were in the conference finals for the first time in team history where they were swept by the bruins.
