    Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky would go on to register his 13th shutout since the start of the 2016-17 season and is tied with Pekka Rinne for the most shutouts in that time span.

    Two of the Islanders goals would come on the power-play in this contest and the penalty kill would end up playing a big factor in this win to start off the road trip for the Islanders in this contest.

    PP                 0/1                 0/0

     

    Analysis:

    This was a very good period for the Capitals that saw them strike early and strike consistently throughout the period. Great job by Dmitrij Jaskin for getting to the net and getting his first as a Capital.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Capitals need to continue playing the way they are now and consistently pressuring the play in the Blue Jackets zone.

    Blue Jackets Penalty – 5:10 – Pierre-Luc Dubois 2 minutes for Slashing

    Blue Jackets Penalty – 11:32 – Boone Jenner 2 minutes for Delay of Game

    PP                   0/3                  0/1

     

    Analysis:

    This was a good period. The Capitals maintained the pace that they liked, and continued to pressure on the Blue Jackets defense.

     

    Need to Do:

    The Capitals just need to keep it going. Keep pressuring the Blue Jackets, forcing turnovers and penalties. The Capitals need to do a much better job with their powerplay opportunities.

     

    Third Period:

    Capitals Penalty – 2:44 – Dmitry Orlov 2 minutes for Tripping

    Capitals Goal – 11:04 – Travis Boyd (1) from Alex Ovechkin (14) and Nic Dowd (4)

    PP                 0/3                    0/4

     

    Analysis:

    A good overall game for the Capitals as they end their 3 game road trip with a victory over their Metropolitan Division rival Blue Jackets. The 3rd period though the Capitals took too many penalties which allowed the Blue Jackets an opportunity to get back into this game but Braden Holtby would be strong in net.

     

    Next Up:

    Washington (17-9-3 37pts) v. Detroit (13-12-4 30pts)

    Time: 7p EST

    Station: NBC Sports Washington and Fox Sports Ohio

     

    Preview:

    The Washington Capitals take on the Columbus Blue Jackets for the first time in Columbus since the first round of the playoffs when the Capitals stormed back from being down 2 games to none to defeat the Blue Jackets in 6 games. The Capitals will look to win their second straight game after going on a 2 game losing streak.

     

    Washington Capitals:

    Projected Lineup:

    Injured: T.J. Oshie (concussion), Brooks Orpik (knee surgery), Tom Wilson (concussion)

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Capitalize on mistakes

    A couple weeks ago Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella talked about how this is a game of mistakes and that you need to capitalize on them rather than try to prevent them. While Tortorella is trying to get his team to create more opportunities than give through mistakes, the Blue Jackets still have a lot of issues with their puck management and the Capitals need to take advantage of this fact.

     

    2. Keep your feet moving

    The Capitals have not fared well these last few games and will need to keep their feet moving and play a full 60 minutes against a hard working Columbus Blue Jackets.

     

    Columbus Blue Jackets:

    Projected Lineup:

     

    Keys to the Game:

    1. Minimize the mistakes

    The Blue Jackets have been having puck management issues which has caused Tortorella to bench players and change his lineup to send the message that they need to manage the puck better.
