Washington’s scoring meets a tougher test

The Capitals average 3.53 goals per game, led in goals by Alex Tuch with 11. They also convert 20.0 percent of their power plays. That offense offers a route past Ottawa, though Washington’s 3.40 goals against per game leave little room for an off night.

Washington’s last five completed games show both sides of that equation. The Capitals beat Philadelphia 5-2 and Nashville 4-3, then lost 5-1 to Minnesota and 6-5 to Dallas before edging Florida 4-3. They scored at least four goals in four of those games, yet conceded at least three in four. The Florida win showed they can finish a tight contest, while the Dallas loss showed that even five goals may not settle one. Keeping opponents from answering their scoring bursts has been the harder part of this stretch.

Ottawa’s home edge and recent response

Ottawa is 6-2-0 at home and allows 3.00 goals per game, a useful counterweight to Washington’s attack. Tim Stutzle leads the Senators with nine goals, 14 assists and 23 points. Their 13.2 percent power play, however, gives Ottawa less special-teams scoring to lean on.

The Senators have won three of their last five completed games, with their latest two victories coming 2-1 at Buffalo and 4-2 against Utah. Those results followed a 6-3 loss at Anaheim, showing a response after a defensive setback. Earlier, Ottawa beat San Jose 5-1 but fell 6-5 to Los Angeles. The range matters: the Senators have shown they can win with either restrained scoring or a bigger offensive night, but their losses also show how quickly a game can get away when they concede six.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Ottawa Senators.

Ottawa’s home record and lower goals-against average give it the narrow edge. Washington’s scoring and stronger power play could overturn that advantage, especially if the Senators cannot keep the game controlled.
