The Caps are fresh off a streak-busting win against Columbus and currently have a four-game winning streak of their own. They’ll look to push the streak to five tonight as they visit Ottawa for a battle of the nation’s capitals. The Sens have a solid 44 points in 37 games, but a juggernaut they aren’t. The Caps can pick up two points tonight to try to keep pace in the excellent Metro division.

My brother Mike is trying out an interesting fundraising experiment and he’s not asking for a penny. He’s attempting to raise $20,000 just through having his music streamed on Spotify. This seems like a goal the RMNB army can help put a dent in. Click the playlist below and stream it while you hang out in the pregame today, won’t you? Helpful hint: you’ll only hear a preview of the song unless you’re logged into Spotify. A log-in option will pop up when you play the preview
