New Years Day NHL Showdown: Ottawa Senators vs. Washington CapitalsThe NHL kicks off 2026 with a high-scoring matinee matchup between the Ottawa Senators and Washington Capitals. Both teams are desperate for a win, with the Sens on a three-game losing streak and the Caps winning just three of their last ten. Defensive struggles have led to shootouts, with the Capitals cashing the over in four straight games and the Senators going over in three of their last five. Goalies have struggled, with Ottawas Leevi Merilainen posting an .869 save percentage and Washingtons Logan Thompson allowing four or more goals in three of his last four starts. Analysts predict a high-scoring game, with the over six point five goals at plus one fifteen as the top play. For a same-game parlay, grab the over with Tim Stutzle anytime goal and Jakob Chychrun over two point five shots on goal at plus five fifty. The Senators are favored on the moneyline at minus one forty-four, with the puck line at minus one point five. Catch the game on MNMT or RDS and expect a goal-fest to start the year.
