Jose Theodore On Alex Ovechkin The Washington Capitals are finally at the end of their lengthy road swing up north, as their five-game stretch culminates with one last visit to the Ottawa Senators, who D.C. saw just a couple weeks back. Here is everything to know before puck drop at 7 p.m. ET at Canadian Tire Centre. WASHINGTON CAPITALS LINE COMBINATIONS The Capitals aren't expected to make any line changes, sticking with what worked as they look to generate more momentum at 5-on-5. Expect Charlie Lindgren in net as the goaltending rotation continues. Here are the projected combinations: Alex Ovechkin-Dylan Strome-Tom Wilson Aliaksei Protas-Pierre-Luc Dubois-Connor McMichael Taylor Raddysh-Lars Eller-Ethen Frank Brandon Duhaime-Nic Dowd-Andrew Mangiapane Rasmus Sandin-John Carlson Martin Fehervary-Matt Roy Jakob Chychrun-Trevor van Riemsdyk Charlie Lindgren Logan Thompson WASHINGTON CAPITALS STATS - Aliaksei Protas is riding a five-game point streak and continues to stand out for the Capitals up front. - Pierre-Luc Dubois has goals in four of his last five games and six points in the last five overall. His 24 points over the last 25 games lead Washington. - Jakob Chychrun has points in three of his last five outings. WASHINGTON CAPITALS STORYLINES - Watch out for Dylan Strome; he busted out of a lengthy goal drought last game and is looking stronger over this recent stretch. - Of course, that also means watch for Alex Ovechkin, who has been hungry to get back to his high-scoring ways, too. He had the OT winner the last time these two teams met. - Tom Wilson has also been dangerous, and with his grit, expect fireworks against Brady Tkachuk.
