The NHL is going to have a very interesting calendar next Sunday, April 07th, 2024, where one of the most attractive matches is the confrontation between Washington Capitals and Ottawa Senators, a couple of teams that share the Eastern Conference, but that have very different objectives for this season.

On the one hand, Washington Capitals is the eleventh team in the Eastern Conference with 82 points, quantity that allows this team to still keep an eye on the playoff’s spots, but they are forced to win their remaining matches of the regular season to dethrone teams like Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings from their positions.

On the other hand, Ottawa Senators haven’t any options to compete for the playoffs as they gained only 70 points throughout the regular season, and during their last matches, they played so bad that they accumulate a streak of 3 consecutive defeats, highlighting as the worst defensive of the Atlantic Division with 266 received goals.
