The Columbus Blue Jackets wrap up their road trip tonight with a visit to the Washington Capitals. The Capitals have swooned this season, largely due to injuries, but their aging roster is doing them no favors - the Capitals are likely to miss the playoffs this season, but have played large stretches of the season with injuries to Nicklas Backstrom, Tom Wilson, and John Carlson.
