Washington Capitals (Moneyline) ..

Ottawa has some very strong players. However, the entire team isn't the greatest by any means. This is a Senators group that has lost 42% of their road games this season. The Sens have lost five out of their past six games, beating the Sharks in their only win.

Although I do not believe that the Capitals are the "best" team in the East, I have enjoyed watching them this season and seeing how well they've been playing. Ovechkin continues his hunt for glory here this evening and he's going to need to be great for the Caps to break out of this small three game skid that they are currently on. I expect him & Washington to do just that this evening and get back into the winning column.

Score Prediction: 5-2 Capitals
