Capitals 6 - Ottawa 2 Brought to You by the Number...

5

The number of consecutive penalties the Senators took from the end of the second period to midway through the third. These five penalties gave the Caps a long stretch of a 5 on 3, but also prevented the Senators from mounting a late third period charge, as Dallas did two games ago. The power plays gave the Caps the room to add two insurance markers, provided by Pettinger and Semin.

Five also equals the total number of penaties by the Sens in the third period and equals the number of saves Ray Emery made on power play shots (he had seven shots total).
