    Caps vs Senators Pregame: All About Alex

    The Senators come to town tonight for a battle of capital cities. The Senators are not very good. The Caps are very good. But hockey is a game drenched with randomness, so being the superior team doesn’t assure victory.

    Alex Ovechkin goes for 500 tonight. In today’s snapshot, one thing we talked about is the fact that it seems impossible to appreciate him enough, no matter how much we appreciate him. What a treat it is to be on the planet Earth as a Caps fan during Ovechkin’s career.

    With where the Caps are in the standings right now, I’d take an Ovi goal over a Caps win tonight, if you forced me to pick.

    The game starts at 7 and will be on CSN.

    Team Record Possession PDO Power Play Penalty Kill
    Washington Capitals 31-7-3 51.7% 101.9 25.6% 84.9%
    Ottawa Senators 20-16-6 46.3% 101.2 18.6% 77.1%

    Projected Lineup

    No morning skate. We’ll assume to lineup changes except for in net, where Mike Vogel thinks Grubauer will get the nod.

    Ovechkin – Backstrom – Oshie
    Burakovsky – Kuznetsov – Williams
    Chimera – Latta – Wilson
    Carey – Laich  – Galiev

    Alzner – Niskanen
    Orlov – Schmidt
    Ness – Chorney

    Storylines

    • The highlights from yesterday’s thrilling win are worth another look.
    • Checking in on the Caps at the season’s halfway mark.
    • Karl Alzner was willing to sacrifice his head to block a shot. Thankfully, it only caught him in the shoulder.
    • I love to celebration, I love to goals.

    Stay Woke

    It is 62 degrees today. Tomorrow it’s going to be in the thirties and Wednesday the high will be 28. Who else is looking forward to a week of sinus headache hell?

    Many of you will be watching NFL playoff action today. Good luck to your favorite sports teams.
