Bobby Ryan, Erik Karlsson, and some other guys! The Ottawa Senators are competing hard for the team-I-care-about-least award, pulling way ahead of the Stars since the summer and going neck and neck with the Canucks right now.
Tonight at 7:30, on CSN Plus, the Caps will try to extend their amazing one-game winning streak.
| Team | Record | Possession | PDO | Power Play | Penalty Kill |
| Washington Capitals | 26-15-10 | 52.2% | 100.5 | 23.7% | 80.8% |
| Ottawa Senators | 20-20-9 | 49.8% | 100.6 | 16.8% | 83.0% |
Projected Lineup
Wilson and Chimera will sit, as all but the fourth line remains the same. We think your boy Holtby will be in net. From Vogs:
Ovechkin – Backstrom – Johansson
Burakovsky – Kuznetsov – Brouwer
Laich – Fehr– Ward
Volpatti – Latta – Beagle
Orpik – Carlson
Alzner – Niskanen
Hillen – Green
Holtby

Storylines
- Mike Green trade buzz. Groan.
- Evander Kane trade buzz. Woohoo!
- Braden Holtby en fuego– perfect in last nine #rego periods. MAF retook the league lead in shutouts last night though.
- My rule is I don’t care what Mike Milbury says when he’s wrong and I don’t care what he says when he’s right.
- We had a long and productive conversation about forward lines and Evgeny Kuznetsov on twitter today, and then the PuckBuddys stepped in.

- Vingan raps on Caps roster issues.
- Here’s an interview with Galiev, but here’s my Q: do we call him Stan or Stas?
- We totally need buskers on the metro.
- It’s not gonna happen, but Ovechkin – Backstrom – Kane would be the best line in the league, no?
