Looking to pull out of their all star break skid, the Blue Jackets kicked off a home and home series with Washington by welcoming the Capitals to town. Would they be able to find what they needed to get back in the win column?
First Period
Things started off pretty well!
Savard (4) from Wennberg (15) @ 1:58
Unfortunately the Capitals would get a power play when Markus Nutivaara was whistled for a hook a few minutes later, and...well.
Carlson (8) from Backstrom (29) and Kuznetsov (38) @ 4:54
Oh, and this happened:
Second Period
The Jackets would start the period on the power play and put some real pressure on Braden Holtby, but failed to solve the Capitals goaltender, and not long after.
