OTTAWA (Ticker) - Ray Emery stepped up in the absence of six-time Vezina Trophy winner Dominik Hasek.
The Ottawa Senators hope for another strong performance from Emery when they host rookie sensation Alexander Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals on Thursday.
Ottawa's fourth-round draft selection in 2001, Emery will be the Senators' primary goaltender while Hasek nurses a groin injury.
Emery turned aside the first 16 shots he faced and made 27 saves in Ottawa's 4-3 victory over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Captain Daniel Alfredsson and linemate Dany Heatley both scored a goal and assisted on another for the Senators, who improved to 34-0-0 when tallying at least four times.
Ottawa hopes for another offensive outburst Thursday against a Washington club that opened its post-Olympic schedule with a 5-3 victory at Toronto on Tuesday.
Matt Pettinger tallied twice and Ovechkin added his team-leading 37th goal of the season for the Capitals, who ended a four-game slide.
