The Capitals and Senators kick off the new year with an afternoon game and fortunately for people like me who aren’t hungover and need sports to keep me company, this was a good game. Caps took the lead early off a scrappy goal from Team Canada member (and good selection) Tom Wilson and a slick goal from Dylan Strome. I certainly thought the Senators were gonna lose and maybe get crushed. But they refused to follow the script I was writing. Nick Jensen got the crowd going with a goal as the Senators grabbed momentum both before the goal and especially after when Ridkey Greig tied it up. Perron grabbed the lead for Ottawa but Washington was kind enough to add even more drama, so Protas scored just so Zetterlund could grab the lead back in the final 3 minutes. Capitals made one final push, but they couldn’t get it and the Senators get a well-deserved win. Chabot and Zetterlund rightfully earned stars of the game, but I was most impressed by Pinto with his passing and it got him 2 assists
