The 4 Nations Face-Off is now less than two weeks away. It begins Feb. 12 at Bell Centre in Montreal. Most NHL teams have six, seven or eight games remaining before the League breaks for the first best-on-best hockey tournament since the World Cup of Hockey 2016.

With both Ottawa and Washington featuring elite defenses, goals will be hard to come by in tonight's Eastern Conference showdown.

Credit to Pierre-Luc Dubois, who continues to be red-hot for Washington, scoring his 11th of the season less than two minutes into regulation. He has points in three of his last four games and 24 in his last 25, the most on the team over that span.

One thing to watch: It’s been an awakening for The Great 8, 39-year-old Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin, who has 22 goals in 34 games (he scored 31 all of last season). With 875 career goals, he’s now just 19 behind the NHL all-time record set by Wayne Gretzky.

And so far through 2024-25, that's what the Capitals have gotten out of Wilson. Through 50 games, he has 20 goals and 15 assists for 35 points and is on pace to finish with a career-high 32 goals and 57 points. It's a testament to the work that he's put in to get his career to this point.

Tuesday night's game at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, is the first time these teams square off this season.

The Ottawa Senators are back on the ice tomorrow night when they take on the Washington Capitals at 7:00 p.m. ET.
