Opening faceoff is at 7 p.m. ET and you can watch it on ESPN+ ( plans start at $11.99/month). Washington (29-10-5, in the Metropolitan Division) last played on Tuesday night and beat visiting Anaheim 3-0 as Logan Thompson stopped all 19 shots. The Capitals are 6-1-3 in their last 10 games.

Leevi Merilainen has allowed zero goals in regulation in three of his past four games. So what happens when Linus Ullmark gets back?

Ovechkin’s goal also produced Washington’s 30th victory of the season – the Caps join Winnipeg as the second team in the League to reach that plateau in 2024-25 – and it helped Logan Thompson nail down his 20th victory of the season, and his second consecutive shutout.

“I’ve definitely seen that time and time again,” said Ottawa defenceman Nick Jensen, dealt to the Senators by the Caps in the off-season. “He’s been able to produce like this year after year so it’s no surprise that he can still do it.”

Matt Rempe scored his first goal of the season in the New York Rangers’ Tuesday night game against the Ottawa Senators. Adam Edström gave Rempe a perfect pass in the offensive zone as the skating giant found himself all alone.

Alex Ovechkin has broken the NHL record for the most goaltenders scored on. Ovechkin made Ottawa's Leevi Merilainen No. 179 during the Washington Capitals’ road game at the Senators.
