Ottawa Senators (30-25-4)
Washington Capitals (38-14-8)
With a unique weeknight starting time, the Caps conclude their season-long five-game homestand on Monday night against the Ottawa Senators. The game concludes the season’s series between the two teams, which split a pair of January overtime tilts in Ottawa, two weeks apart.
For the first time this season, the Caps will be going into Monday’s game seeking to shake off a modest three-game slide (0-3-0); they’ve scored a total of four goals while dropping the three middle games of the homestand. A trio of consecutive losses to Calgary, St. Louis and Tampa Bay, respectively, immediately followed a 16-game home point streak (11-0-5), the second-longest in franchise history.
“The next one is a huge game,” said Caps winger Tom Wilson after Saturday’s loss to the Lightning. “In this League, you’ve got to be consistent; you can’t drop too many in a row. The sign of a good team is bouncing back.
“I think the effort was there. I think the execution – for the most part – was there tonight, not our worst game. But it doesn’t matter, we’ve got to make sure we take the next one.”
There are a couple trends to the three losses; the starts haven’t been stellar in any of the three, and Washington has not held a lead at any point of the 180 minutes of hockey it has played, an anomaly for them this season.
“I think it helps any team,” says Caps defenseman Matt Roy, who has nine assists in his last 10 games. “If you can jump out to an early lead and just protect the lead, work from there, and have a jump start on the score, I think it’ll help any team. Going forward, I think our starts are going to be crucial for us, and we just need to find a way to get the puck in the net.”
Early in the first period of what was a scoreless game against the Lightning on Saturday, it appeared the Caps had broken the seal on the scoresheet when Jakob Chychrun’s point shot through traffic found twine behind Tampa Bay goaltender Andrej Vasilevskiy. But the Lightning wiped that lead away from Washington with a successful coach’s challenge; Chychrun played the puck with a high stick just prior to the goal.
The Caps ended up dealing with three penalty-killing missions in the first period, stunting the rhythm of their bench and the flow of their 5-on-5 play. They also fell behind 1-0 when the Lightning’s Mitchell Chaffee scored on the third of those Tampa Bay man advantages.
By the time Caps captain Alex Ovechkin scored his 884th career goal at 16:01 of the third to spoil Vasilevskiy’s bid for a second whitewash of Washington this season, it only halved the deficit to 2-1. A late empty-net goal sealed the Lightning’s eighth straight victory.
As Wilson says, the effort has been there. What appears to be lacking in the last three games is some swagger and connectivity, but that’s going to happen to virtually every team across the grind of a six-month, 82-game regular season.
“It’s not ideal, especially with the timing of where we’re at in the season and the teams that we’re playing against,” says Caps coach Spencer Carbery. “I would say that it’s concerning; I wouldn’t say that I’m hitting the panic button by any stretch. We’ve lost three games against three teams that are gearing up. It’s not ideal; it doesn’t look good on our team, especially going into the trade deadline. So, we’re going to have to get it figured out.
“But adversity and going through this might not be a bad thing for our group to find out what we’re made of, going into the last final stretch. And it’s not going to get any easier because … the teams that we’re playing are all, as I sometimes like to call it, DEF CON five. Meaning, they’re going into these games, and they’re probably talking as a group and the leadership group, and that, ‘These two points can be the difference between us playing into the end of April and not playing.’ It’s good, because now we’ll be able to use this gut check time for our group.”
Beginning with Ottawa on Monday night in the homestand finale, the Caps will face a trio of teams in DEF CON five mode. The Caps face the New York Rangers in Manhattan on Wednesday and return to the District to host the Detroit Red Wings on Friday.
The Senators come into town on the heels of a 5-3 win over San Jose, Saturday on home ice. That victory over the Sharks salvaged a pair of points from what had been a fruitless three-game homestand to that point, and it halted a five-game Ottawa slide (0-5-0).
Despite their recent travails, the Sens remain in the thick of the hunt for the postseason. Ottawa won five in a row immediately before dropping five straight, and it enters Monday’s game in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings, two points behind Detroit for the final wild card berth. The Sens hold a game in hand on the Wings, and the two teams have two head-to-head meetings coming up later this month, one in each city.
Ottawa is one of eight teams clustered within seven points of one another and vying for the two Eastern Conference wild card berths.
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. (KPTV) – The Washington County Sheriff’s Office released video of deputies using a drone to track down a man wanted for damaging a car.
On Saturday, May 30, a 911 caller reported a man damaging a car outside their home on Southwest 179th Avenue in Aloha. The sheriff’s office said it was reported the suspect, 21-year-old Santos Paulino Castro-Ramirez, was punching the car.
Deputies used a drone to follow the suspect as he ran toward Southwest Barcelona Lane. The sheriff’s office said Castro-Ramirez then entered a white SUV that did not belong to him on SW Barcelona.
Deputies arrested Castro-Ramirez. He was booked into the Washington County Jail for first-degree burglary and attempt to commit a crime – second-degree theft.

Beirut, Lebanon – On Tuesday, representatives from Lebanon and Israel met at the US Department of State in Washington, DC – the first session of a two-day round of negotiations that Lebanese negotiators hope will end an invasion of their country.
The negotiations, which started at 9am local time (13:00 GMT), come as Israel’s invasion of Lebanon pushes deeper than at any point since the year 2000 and as Hezbollah and Israel continue to trade attacks. Israel has killed 3,468 people in Lebanon since March 2, according to Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health.
With the war raging on, what do Lebanon and Israel have to discuss and will the talks lead to an end of the Israeli assault?
Here’s everything you need to know.
What will Israel and Lebanon discuss?
Similar to past meetings, the two sides are ostensibly looking to come to some kind of deal following fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, with strong doubts it will be achieved.
Lebanon’s government is still pushing for a total ceasefire. However, as talks started, Israel was striking various parts of southern Lebanon. Lebanon is also trying to get Israel to withdraw from Lebanese territory in the south, so that more than 1.2 million displaced people can return home, and so the state can resume finding a way to disarm Hezbollah and rebuild areas devastated by Israeli attacks.
Israel is meanwhile looking to get assurances that Lebanon will disarm Hezbollah, a prospect analysts say Israel knows is complicated by the continuation of its military operations and occupation of swaths of southern Lebanon. Instead, Israel appears to be trying to fuel sectarian tensions inside Lebanon, leading to chaos and internal strife.
What has happened so far?
An initial meeting took place in April between Israel and Lebanon’s ambassadors to the United States. A second round took place in May with a larger delegation on both sides.
On Friday, a meeting took place with Lebanese and Israeli military representatives, while Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Lebanese group, is not involved in the meetings.
Israel claimed the two sides found common ground in that they both wanted to see Hezbollah disarmed. Some Israeli officials suggested there may soon be trade agreements and an exchange of tourists between the two countries. Lebanon, however, said it preferred to find a deal closer to the 1949 armistice agreement between the two countries.
In the last meeting, Beirut reportedly outlined the damage done by Israeli attacks since the 2024 ceasefire agreement and presented detailed maps showing homes destroyed or razed by Israel.
Is there a chance for a ceasefire?
That remains to be seen, but for now, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his country’s military would continue attacking Lebanon.
On Monday, Netanyahu announced that attacks on Beirut’s southern suburbs would resume, despite a ceasefire. Apart from two targeted attacks, Israel has not struck the suburbs, known as Dahiyeh, since April.
Iran, which has attempted to include Lebanon in a wider ceasefire between themselves, on one side, and Israel and the US on the other, then intervened by threatening to attack northern Israel.
US President Donald Trump reportedly intervened to stop Israel’s attacks. He announced another ceasefire, after his previous announcement of one between Israel and Lebanon on April 16, after claiming he had gotten the approval of Netanyahu and spoken to Hezbollah.
“There will be no troops going to Beirut, and any troops that are on their way have already been turned back,” Trump announced on his social media platform, Truth Social.
But attacks from Israel and Hezbollah are continuing.
How do Lebanese people feel about the talks?
Not everyone is on the same page.
Some Lebanese support the talks and say they are the only option the state, which has little leverage, has. Among those who believe direct talks are the best way forward are Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
“There is no option other than negotiation,” Aoun said in a statement on Tuesday.
Others, however, oppose direct talks. Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and his allies, Hezbollah, have said indirect talks are preferred and that negotiations cannot be conducted while attacks are ongoing.
How are Iran and the US connected?
Israel and the US attacked Iran on February 28, killing the country’s longtime leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran is Hezbollah’s primary benefactor, and two days after Khamenei’s assassination, Hezbollah fired six rockets towards Israel on 2 March.
Hezbollah’s response brought a huge response from Israel, who have crossed the Litani River – the supposed buzzer zone in southern Lebanon it had created – towards the Zahrani River.
Despite a 2024 ceasefire, Israel had never stopped attacking Lebanon, while Hezbollah had only responded once in December 2024.
Iran has attempted to include Lebanon in the ceasefire deal it has with the United States and Israel, who say this theatre is not part of the agreement.
Although Trump has now announced a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel twice, the invasion of southern Lebanon continues.
Are there other actors involved?
Gulf states have also intervened. Saudi Arabia has been working behind the scenes to get Lebanon’s leadership – Aoun, Salam and Berri – on the same page. Meanwhile, analysts say Saudi Arabia and Qatar engaged the Trump administration to stop an escalation in Lebanon.
