A recap of the Ottawa Senators 7-1 loss to the Washington Capitals on 10 January 2016.
Well that was ugly. The Ottawa Senators started the game badly, almost conceding a goal in the opening minute. The only time they escaped pressure in the first period was when the Capitals were on the penalty kill and so it was fitting that they trailed 2-0 going into the intermission.
Mike Hoffman briefly gave the Senators hope to make it a one-goal game in the second period but the Capitals scored the next five, including Alex Ovechkin's 500th career goal, to win 7-1 at the final buzzer.
