Washington puts up close to 3 goals per game and I expect them to put a stop to the Columbus 7 game winning streak. Six of the seven wins in this run for the Blue Jackets have been by one goal, with five going to overtime.
The Capitals lost to these same Blue Jackets in OT last week despite outshooting them 41-23.
Columbus is allowing 3.43 goals at home while the Caps allow just 2.40 goals on the road. Washington is very good on the road and in the penalty play.
The Caps have a HOT Goalie and we'll ride him tonight. Holtby has keyed Washington going 4-0-2 in their last six games as he's posted a 1.79 GAA.

The Capitals own the NHL's best power play at 27.1 percent overall and 35.5 on the road.
