After struggling through some inconsistent play earlier in the year, things have started to turn around for the Washington Capitals. Saturday night they head north of the border to take on the Ottawa Senators.
Washington last met up with Ottawa on New Year’s Day and came out with a 2-1 victory. A pair of defensemen, Karl Alzner and Taylor Chorney, accounted for the scoring. Goaltender Braden Holtby turned away 23 of the 24 shots that he faced.
The Caps enter Saturday’s game with a four-game win streak. Washington has been very busy, playing three games already in the past week.
