Capitals vs. Senators Preview: Line Combinations, Stats, Storylines To Watch

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.

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

- 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.

- 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.
