Hockey is a simple game with some luck sprinkled in. Winning game six will require the Columbus Blue Jackets to keep it simple and get a little bit of puck luck. To avoid elimination the Columbus Blue Jackets need their veterans to step up and to stay out of the penalty box.
Fans are as tired of reading that last part as I am typing it at this point in the series. The Jackets have been unable to stay out of the penalty box against the Capitals and it has cost them dearly.
The CBJ have allowed at least four power play opportunities every game thus far and the Caps have taken advantage.
