Capitals vs. Blue Jackets Recap: Washington Blanks Columbus 4-0
Russell LaBounty-USA TODAY SportsThis was a highly anticipated divisional battle, and the Capitals came in hot. After taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the first period and chasing Sergei Borbrovsky out of the Blue Jackets’ crease, Braden Holtby and the Capitals held on to beat Columbus 4-0. Tonight marks the 11th-straight game that Washington has scored three or more goals.
Here’s Saturday night’s Plus/Minus:
Plus: The Capitals came to play tonight, but no one came to play more than Braden Holtby. He made all 28 saves tonight to notch his 34th career shutout, and he is now one shy of tying the franchise record set by Olaf Kolzig. The best part of this? No cannon.
