Success is not a word theyve been able to use regarding recent matchups with the Ottawa Senators. The Capitals will try to take advantage of their only home game in a two-week span and end a seven-game skid against the Senators tonight. Viewers in the Senators region can watch the game on TSN5 at 7pm et/8pm at, or you can listen live on TSN Radio 1200 Ottawa. Ottawa (14-13-6) was unable to win a third straight game, falling 4-1 at Montreal on Saturday after setting a season high in goals in a 6-2 victory over league-leading Anaheim one night earlier. The loss dropped the Senators to 3-2-1 since Dave Cameron replaced Paul MacLean as head coach. I thought the compete level was really good and we worked hard in a good building against a good team, Cameron said. That gave us a chance, we just werent able to pull it out. After Robin Lehner got the start Saturday, Craig Anderson figures to be back in net for this game. Anderson has been among the biggest keys behind Ottawas win streak against Washington, winning all seven starts with a 1.57 GAA. Defenseman Erik Karlsson has two goals and 10 assists during an eight-game point streak in the series. Washington extended its season-best points streak to eight games (6-0-2) Saturday with a strong all-around performance in New Jersey. Braden Holtby needed to stop only 21 shots and Nicklas Backstrom had two goals and an assist in a 4-0 victory. Holtby has been in net for each of the last eight games, posting a 1.84 goals-against average. Hes had plenty of help from his teammates, facing an average of 25.4 shots in the past five games. I think were doing what weve wanted to do all season, but were now finding a way to do it consistently, Holtby said. Were using our speed and size to our advantage. There arent a lot of teamms who can match up with us there.dddddddddddd We now know its our strength. Saturdays win improved the Capitals to 5-0-1 on the road during their eight-game streak. Their 10 road wins ties them with New York Islanders for the most in the Eastern Conference. Conversely, Washington (16-10-6) has won six of 15 home games (6-5-4), with only New Jersey (four) owning fewer home victories in the East. Weve got to be good at home, coach Barry Trotz told the teams official website. Our fans deserve that. Whatever it is, we need their energy and weve got to give them some energy and play well at home and establish the home turf. This is the Capitals only home contest in a seven-game span before they host Chicago at Nationals Park in the Winter Classic on New Years Day. Perhaps the best news for Washington is the recent play of Alex Ovechkin, who scored a highlight-reel goal Saturday. Though he only has three goals and six points during the 6-0-2 surge, the superstar forward has five or more shots in a season-high five consecutive games. Hes had a couple of games when he hasnt scored and you look at the scoresheet and hes got seven or eight shots, good looks too, Trotz said. Ive never seen a guy hit the post so much. I swear hes hit 15 or 20 goal posts this year. Ovechkin, like the rest of his teammates, hasnt had much success against the Senators lately. The Capitals have lost the last seven meetings, scoring one goal or none in four of the last five. Ovechkin has played in five of those losses, totaling two points with a minus-five.
