This is a 10* EASTERN CONFERENCE NON-DIVISION GAME OF MONTH on the Capitals.

Despite an untimely five-game losing streak, the Capitals still have an opportunity to earn the eighth spot in the East with four teams within a game of each other or tied.

Note that Washington is 6-2 in its last eight after five or more losses in a row.

Ottawa can only play spoiler. It failed to do that in yesterday's 4-3 home loss to New Jersey.

I say the Sens come in with "heavy legs" and just go through the motions here vs. this desperate home side.

All things considered, I believe this to be the very defintion of "great line value."

The play is WASHINGTON.

Good luck, NP
