The end of the Washington Capitals’ season-long road trip is night. Tonight, the Capitals will take on the Ottawa Senators north of the border, looking to win four of five during their difficult stretch away from home.
The last time the Capitals played Ottawa, two weeks ago, Alex Ovechkin scored the only goal in overtime to give the Capitals a thrilling 1-0 win. Tonight, the goalies that sat out that night, Charlie Lindgren and Antom Forsberg, will suit up and oppose each other.
The Capitals-Senators game is airing on Monumental Sports Network 2. Joe Beninati and Alan May will have the call. Puck drop is at 7:00 pm. Craig Laughlin is out due to a medical leave of absence. #LockerStrong.

1st Period
Puck is dropped.
Capitals take a bench minor at 2:12 for too many men. Alex Ovechkin is serving the penalty.
Capitals take another bench minor at 3:50 for too many men. Yikes.
Aliaksei Protas stopped on a breakaway shorthanded.
Caps kill both early power plays for the Senators.
The Senators have 9 of the first 11 shots on goal in the first half of the period.
Caps third line authors the team’s best shift of the night. Lars Eller flings a shot on net and then Ethen Frank and Taylor Raddysh nearly deposit the puck past Forsberg from just outside the crease.
At intermission: These two teams just are struggling to score on each other at five-on-five. That’s the fourth consecutive 20-minute period neither team has been able to score a goal on each other. The Senators are outshooting the Capitals 11 to 7. The two teams are tied 10 to 10 at five-on-five.
2nd Period
Puck is dropped.
David Perron to the box for hooking at 0:39 of the period. The Caps get their first power play of the game.
Connor McMichael attempts to score on a wraparound or “power spin” as Alan May described it, but couldn’t stuff the puck past Forsberg.
Taylor Raddysh to the box for high-sticking at 3:45 of the period.
1-0 Ottawa Senators. OTT PPG: Ridley Greig (8). Assists: D. Perron (1), T. Chabot (19). Time: 04:08.
Perron sends a centering pass across the crease that goes off Greig’s skates and in.
Greig now goes to the box at 5:35 for hooking Tom Wilson on an odd-man break.
1-1 tie. WSH Goal: Connor McMichael (18). Assists: P. Dubois (30), M. Roy (10). Time: 07:43
McMichael’s goalless streak ends at 11 games. After a Caps PP ends, the Senators stopped covering him down low and he beats Forsberg to the top corner.
Matthew Highmore to the box for tripping Jakob Chychrun along the corner boards at 12:53.
2-1 Ottawa Senators. OTT Goal: Brady Tkacuk (20). Assists: T. Hamonic (4), T. Kleven (3). Time: 14:53.
Tkachuk buries a rebound after a Hamonic point shot. The Capitals are challenging for goaltender interference. Drake Batherson appeared to make some minimal contact with Lindgren as he made the save on Hamonic’s point shot.
NO GOAL. The call on the ice is overturned.
Travis Hamonic hooks Aliaksei Protas at 17:24.
Josh Norris awarded a penalty shot after John Carlson wipes him out on a breakaway.
2-1 Ottawa Senators. OTT SHG (Penalty Shot): Josh Norris (18). Unassisted. Time: 17:37.
3-1 Ottawa Senators. OTT SHG: Shane Pinto (10). Assists: J. Norris (11), J. Sanderson (26). Time: 18:15.
At intermission: Two shorties in 38 seconds have Ottawa up 3-1. Ottawa is outshooting Washington 25 to 20, but the Capitals are out-attempting them 26 to 24 at five-on-five.
