The Washington Capitals will visit the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight for their final game before they head to Florida for the All-Star break. If the Capitals don’t take this one for granted, they should come out on top. The Jackets are the worst team in hockey. Columbus is 15-32-3, with just 3 wins in their last 10 tries. The Capitals come into this one with a record of 26-20-6 and they have won the last 3 meetings with the Jackets, including both meetings this year, outscoring them 7-2, and they are 7-2 in their last 9 trips to Columbus. The Jackets can only hope they land phenom Connor Bedard in the next NHL Draft if they want to turn this team around.
