After a bumpy start to the New Year, the Ottawa Senators are back on track. The Senators have started climbing up the Eastern Conference standings again with three straight victories ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Washington Capitals.

Devils president of hockey operations and general manager Tom Fitzgerald sat down with The Athletic on Wednesday after his team arrived in Toronto ahead of a game with the Maple Leafs, and there was no hesitation when he was asked what’s led to his team’s comeback season.

The Capitals should be in on Elias Pettersson amid trade rumors and be willing to send top propsect Ryan Leonard the other way.

The Buffalo Sabres return home from a trip out west and face a tough test against the Eastern Conference-leading Washington Capitals on Monday night.

The Washington Capitals are fiddling with the lineup to try and help Alex Ovechkin break an all-time great scoring record.

It started with a trade between the Bruins and Capitals (and Wild as a third-party broker). The Capitals moved out two pending free agents, Garnet Hathaway and Dmitry Orlov, in exchange for a 2023 first-rounder, 2024 third, 2025 second and Craig Smith.

The Eastern Conference-leading Washington Capitals won't be able to roll out their 1-2 goaltending tandem for at least the next week.

Alex Ovechkin made no secret of his feelings when reacting to his historic goal in the Washington Capitals' win over the Ottawa Senators in the 2024-25 NHL season.

The Capitals beat the Sabres 4-2 on Dec. 14 at Capital One Arena. Zucker opened the scoring 1:36 into the game. Washington forward Dylan Strome, who currently leads with the team with 44 points (12+32), broke a 2-2 tie midway through the third period.

With his overtime goal on Thursday, Alex Ovechkin has now scored against 179 different goalies in his NHL career — more than any other player.
