On the night of Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 03:00 Moscow time, Washington take the ice in Ottawa, at the Canadian Tire Centre (sportmail.ru). A preview of Ottawa vs. Washington comes with caveats, and I'll name them right away: open sources gave me no fresh data on Ottawa, so I won't pick a favorite from the standings. Better to stay silent than to make things up.
What we know about the visitors. In the latest report I found — on the game against Minnesota, which Washington lost 5-1 — Ovechkin played 13 minutes 7 seconds and finished without a point: the fifth straight game with no productive plays (sportmail.ru). That report is no longer fresh: Washington have played since, so the streak may have ended long ago — check nhl.com. Still, one guest in Ottawa is the main intrigue anyway: when a player has gone a long time without points, his every shift is an event.
Verdict: a toss-up on paper, no lean toward the hosts or the visitors. Worth watching for Ovechkin and for the question of whether Washington has returned to the kind of games they are loved for. This is the editors' opinion, not a guarantee of the result.
Who, in your view, should carry Washington through this road trip — Ovechkin or the rest of the team?
