The Senators are -166 home favorites over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.
Under serious pressure to get out of the gates hot due to high expectations and a reputation for starting slow, the Sens are 2-1 following consecutive strong performances against the Flyers and Lightning.While it seemed like everyone was on the same page when it came to projecting the Senators for 2023-24, it was really anybody’s guess how the Capitals would perform.
Washington still had clear strengths, including a solid goaltending tandem, but its roster lacked depth and the team doesn’t have any bona fide prospects ready for primetime roles just yet. Alex Ovechkin is a prolific goalscorer, Tom Wilson is a safe bet for a bounce-back year after battling injuries and John Carlson’s return to the lineup give Spencer Carbery a No. 1 defenseman that he can rely on in any situation.
That’s been especially true on defense, as Washington has really struggled to keep up at 5-on-5 in two games against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Calgary Flames.
