COLUMBUS, Ohio -- By the time the puck drops Monday night at Nationwide Arena, the NHL trade deadline will have come and gone. The Washington Capitals and the Columbus Blue Jackets will know by then whether they were any changes to their rosters.
The Blue Jackets made one significant move on Sunday in an attempt to bolster their lineup for a playoff push in the final 20 games of the regular season. They reacquired center Mark Letestu in a deal that involved the Edmonton Oilers and the Nashville Predators.
