Ottawa at Washington

Ottawa is getting great line value in this matchup as Washington has lost six of its last eight games, including 4-3 to Boston on Thursday night when defenseman Charlie McAvoy scored a power-play goal with 45 seconds left. Vitek Vanecek was the losing goalie and Ilya Samsonov is likely to get the call tonight for the Capitals and they have lost his last three starts and he has allowed 11 goals in that span. Ottawa has bounced back and won four straight after allowing at least five goals its previous game and the Capitals are 0-6 against a team that gave up five or more goals its previous game. Washington has lost five of its last seven as a home favorite. Ottawa goalie Anton Forsberg has allowed no more than two goals in six of his last seven appearances. Play the Senators.
