WATCH Senators vs. Capitals Live Stream Online: NHL Division Rivals 2015, Playoff Updates

Hockey's back for the official 2015-2016 NHL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Ottawa Senators battle it out on the ice against the Washington Capitals in Week 10 of the regular season on Wednesday, December 16 at 7:00 p.m. EST from the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Wednesday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, Washington maintains the 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 (1): "The Capitals' six-game winning streak ended with Saturday's 2-1 OT loss to the Jets, but they continue to prove why they are a Stanley Cup contender. Before their loss to the Jets, the Capitals had defeated the Canadiens 3-2 Thursday night in Montreal."

Record: 21-6-2 (1st in Metropolitan Division).

Senators (13): "The Senators have lost back-to-back games in regulation only twice this season, including their recent two-game skid. Saturday's game against the Canadiens was simply awful. Allowing 27 shots in the first period was embarrassing."

Record: 16-10-5 (3rd in Atlantic Division).

Tonight's monumental game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels TVA, RSN, and CSM+.
