The Blue Jackets are coming into the game here with a couple of great games, but with the score ending up on the wrong side of the puck. The Capitals, after losing to the Blue Jackets, have been soaring high and really played with a chip on their shoulder. The Blue Jackets defense is not that great, but also the Capitals are playing with a chip and some of the potential league MVPs this year and that allows the Capitals to pull away in this game. Final Score, Washington Capitals win 4-2.
