The Washington Capitals started a back to back schedule with a undeniable win against a struggling rebuilding Ottawa Senators team by a score of 6-1.
This included standout performances again from the typical candidates with 2 goals apiece from Oshie and Ovechkin, 2 assists each for Wilson and Carlson, and finally Samsonov stood on his head for a 0.963 SV% while allowing a single goal.
The outcome is what should have been expected, but this was the perfect case for the Capitals to overlook their opponent.
