Capitals @ Blue Jackets Recap: Capitals Stave Off Comeback Cannons in 4-3 OT Win

The Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets met tonight for the third time this season in both teams’ final game before the All-Star break. The Capitals have won their last three games at Nationwide Arena, and the last time these teams faced each other the Caps came away with a 6-2 victory in Washington earlier this month. Coming into tonight, the Capitals were looking to take a 3-0 lead in the season series against Columbus. The Blue Jackets were also missing nine lineup regulars tonight, so it would probably be a good idea for the Capitals to take advantage of that.
