Their power play was particularly effective, showcasing precision and teamwork that left their opponents scrambling.

The Senators look to build on this momentum, while the Capitals will need to regroup quickly to avoid letting this loss affect their season. Moving forward, fans will be eager to see if Ottawa can maintain such high-level performances against tougher opponents in the coming weeks.
