Before heading into the official playoff season, Washington maintains an impressive top spot in Joe McDonald's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while Ottawa still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Capitals (2): "Evgeny Kuznetsov registered three assists and teammate Daniel Winnik added two assists during Friday's 4-1 win over the Predators. However, the Caps dropped a 6-2 decision to the Penguins on Sunday, which is enough to drop them out of the top spot in the rankings."

Record: 51-15-5 (1st in Metropolitan Division).

Senators (19): "Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Curtis Lazar and Alex Chiasson each scored short-handed goals to lead the Senators to a 5-0 win over the Canadiens on Saturday. Andrew Hammond finished with 30 saves to record his first shutout of the season."     

Record: 34-31-8 (5th in Atlantic Division).
