Washington at Ottawa

The Capitals are on a 7-3 run, winning three in a row. Washington is steaming toward the playoffs, ranked sixth in the league in goals scored, tops on the power play and seventh in goals allowed. Alex Ovechkin scored two of Washington's three power-play goals as the Capitals won 5-4 in shootout victory Thursday and moved into second place in the Metropolitan Division. Washington leads the league on the power play with a 25.3 percent conversion rate and has scored two or more power-play goals 10 times. The Capitals are 10-1 against the Atlantic Division and 5-1 on the road. They match up well with an Ottawa team that is on a 2-3 run and 3-10 against the Metropolitan Division. Ottawa is playing all-out defense with a slow pace, on a 2-0 run UNDER the total off back-to-back 2-1 wins -- and one was against Tampa Bay, the highest scoring team in the league. The Senators are among the league's worst on the power play, though, at 16.0 percent. The Capitals will clinch at least a wild-card spot with a regulation victory and when they last met the Caps won 2-1. Play Washington and the game UNDER the total.
