Tonight the Caps finish off a three games in four nights stretch at home by facing the Ottawa Senators. The Caps are coming off a big win in Philadelphia after shaking up their lineup by moving Ben Clymer off the blueline and recalling Tomas Fleischmann from Hershey. The Senators are reeling, losing three in a row after dropping a 3-2 game on Saturday night at home.

What Do I Expect Tonight?:

Well it looks like Bryan Murray is working his magic again on the Ottawa Senators. This is a supremely talented team despite all of the players lost during the off-season due to cap restrictions. This is a team that if the Caps fall asleep on (which we've done way too much this season) that can bury them. Whether or not the Senators break out of their funk tonight remains to be seen but the Caps would be well advised not to let their guard down.
