5-1 Capitals
GWG: Alex Ovechkin
Not only do the Capitals have a lot of offensive power, they have an elite goalie to go with it. Add a game on the road and this could be ugly for Ottawa.

GWG: Alex Ovechkin
Remember how we talked about the Rangers being the cream of the East a couple weeks ago? Well, the Capitals are ACTUALLY the cream of the East.

Feels like they always play a bit better in front of Hammond, who shows some rust but gets the W.

4-2 Capitals
GWG: Evgeni Kuznetsov
Braden Holtby seems like a top 3 goalie in the league right now. So that doesn't really bode well for the Sens. Wait, maybe they'll get the backup! Actually, no, that would be worse.

4-2 Capitals
GWG: John Carlson
A subpar effort against Ovechkin & Friends hands the Caps the win as the Sens look very out-matched in this one.

3-2 Capitals
GWG: Evgeni Kuznetsov
The Caps are high-powered team on a mission but the Sens are able to hang in there thanks to strong goalie play before Kuznetsov gets a late winner.

I think it'll be close, but with the Caps' firepower eventually proving too much for the Sens to handle.

6-5 Senators
GWG: Mika Zibanejad
Remember that 8-6 loss to the Capitals years ago? I feel like this is going to be another one of those insanely high-event games where everything goes in. Ottawa is due for one of these games every so often, as we saw against the Stars and Predators not too long ago.
