Hendrix Lapierre (Caps Outsider)
The Capitals offense came alive on Monday night as they cruised to a 6-3 home win over the Ottawa Senators.
It’s Washington’s fifth win in their last six games, as they remain alive in the playoff hunt.
The first period featured six total goals, with four different Capitals scoring to make it 4-2 by the end of the period.
Washington quickly jumped out to a 2-0 lead thanks to tallies by Aliaksei Protas and John Carlson (who scored on the power play).
However, the Senators then went on to tie it up at 2-2, as Drake Batherson and Shane Pinto each put the puck in the net.
