Ottawa Senators vs Washington Capitals Prediction & Picks - NHL
by Edgar Jibran | in NHL Picks
The first NHL game for next Monday, March 03rd correspond to the clash between Washington Capitals and Ottawa Senators, teams from the Eastern Conference that despite having a huge difference between them in the standings, currently are having very bad performances. With that in mind Washington Capitals are expected to recover the offensive level that converted them into the best offensive in the Eastern Conference with 215 scored goals.
In addition, it also must be noted that Alex Ovechkin is just 11 goals away from the all-time scoring record in the league, so it cannot be taken as a big surprise that he has been the shooting on target leader during their most recent 3 home games. However, the concerning fact is that the Capitals lost those 3 home games in which they couldn’t score more than 2 goals per game – so, they must end that streak as soon as possible to avoid losing the top spot of the Eastern Conference.
Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators finally ended an awful streak of 5 losses in a row after their most recent victory over San Jose Sharks (5-3), which also was the first time in which they scored more than 4 goals since the beginning of February. Even though the Senators haven’t been able to concede less than 3 goals since their 2-5 victory over Nashville Predators one month ago, so it makes sense not to expect them to compete in this game.

Our Ottawa Senators vs Washington Capitals Prediction
To conclude, for this game the main expectation is keeping the protagonism from Alex Ovechkin, who needs to keep pushing on the offensive, not only because of his individual record, but also to carry on helping his team on keeping the top spot of the Eastern Conference. With that in mind, Pierre Dubois is also expected to be one of the key players for this game, so the pick for Washington Capitals – Ottawa Senators is: Total Goals By Washington Capitals – Over 3.5!
