What It Means:

Washington coach Barry Trotz has been rotating his fourth-liners this season and is choosing to go with the scrappy Latta on Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators. Latta is expected to skate between Brooks Laich and Andre Burakovsky.

Latta has just three points (one goal, two assists) in 18 games played this season. We project him to tally another five points (one goal, four assists) over the remaining course of the season. Despite the low total, the eight points would be a new career high.
