Washington is playing in its first road game of the season, and they will come out flat against the Senators on Wednesday night.
Ottawa has won each of its first two home games to start this season and they will continue to do damage at home here.
Look for home ice advantage to play a key role in the Capitals vs Senators matchup on Wednesday night. Ottawa is 2-0 at home to start their 2023-24 NHL season, while the Capitals have yet to play a road game after starting their season with two straight home contests. That will give the Senators the advantage they need to pick up another win in what has been a strong start to the season for them in the Eastern Conference.
