Washington Capitals (Wilson T.) - Ottawa Senators Stadium / Stadium: Capital One Arena (Washington)
Eastern Region
Washington Capitols (Position 6st Div.N.19-NP.3-US.9-H.10 Term.136-115)
They do not seem to be going through the best phase of their season. They beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 (3-3 points) in extra time and then lost 4-3 away from home to the Boston Bruins. They have reached six (6) defeats in the last eight (8) games and they must recover immediately if they want to go for something better in the Eastern Region and in the Metropolitan Division. the good news is that Wilson T. (E.) has returned dynamically and is helping the "Russian duo" to the maximum in scoring. Absent will be Carlson J. (A.38pm / 8g / 24as), Orlov D. (A.38pm / 5g / 14as), Oshie TJ (E.18pm / 5g / 8pm), Sheary C. (E.31pm) / 10g / 9as) and Mantha A. (E.10 pcs. / 2 goals / 4 assists).
Eastern Region
Ottawa Senators (Position 15th N.9-NP.2-NH.2-H.20 Term.94-121)
Their schedule has become quite difficult now and they have to manage well otherwise I see them collapsing. They give the 8th away game in the last nine (9) and another away game follows. In their last game, they were defeated by the strong Pittsburgh Penguins 6-4 away from home and showed once again (1) weaknesses in their game. They are fighting to not be the last in the Atlantic Division, but if they continue to show such a person, they will probably end up there. Murray M. (T.9 pp. / 89.21% ap), Zaitsev N. (A. 22pm / 1g / 3as), Brown C. (E.26pm / 5g / 14pm), Pinto C. (E. ppm) and Sabourin S. (ppm).
The absences of the "capital" in combination with the very good playing situation and the fact that the Russian duo is still scoring, give us one (1) good point. Wilson T. to share at least one (1) assist in the game (E. 37pm / 12g / 17as).
