Low-scoring battle incoming. The Under is 19-5-2 in Washington’s last 26 games. The last meeting? A 1-0 OT finish. Washington allows just 2.34 goals per game (1st in NHL). Ottawa? 2.7 GA, 7th best. Goaltending matchup is elite—Thompson (0.927 SV%) vs. Meriläinen (0.921 SV%). Both offenses struggle. Ottawa ranks 25th in goals per game (2.72), Washington relies on a structured defense-first system. Last 5 games? Sens averaging just 1.4 goals, Caps at 2.8. Even-strength scoring is low—Washington takes only 27.2 shots/game (25th), Ottawa slightly better at 29.1 (11th), but facing a top-tier defensive unit. Special teams won’t break this either. Caps PK is elite (84.7%, 2nd in NHL), Sens only 22% on the PP. Ottawa’s penalty kill is shaky (78.9%, 17th), but Washington's PP isn’t dominant (22.7%, 11th). Expect tight checking, few odd-man rushes, and both goalies standing tall.
