The Washington Capitals disposed of the Los Angeles Kings last night, 6-4, and tonight they will be a road dog when they take their game to Nationwide Arena for a match-up with the Columbus Blue Jackets. After losing 5 straight, John Tortorella has his Blue Jackets playing well, winners of their last 3, so this will be a challenge for the Caps but they are up for it. Washington has been very respectable on the road, with a record of 14-9-2. The Caps are 5-2 in their last 7 meetings with the Jackets and 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Columbus. If fatigue isn’t a factor for Washington, they have a good chance of coming away from Columbus with a win.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
