Washington has won 10 of the past 13 meetings, including 5-1 on Oct. 24. The Capitals had a three-game win streak snapped in a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday, but they still have scored 18 goals in three games. Columbus comes off a 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit, and the Blue Jackets are playing their fourth road game in seven days. The Blue Jackets are 39-102 in their past 141 road games. They have lost four of their past five games against teams that allowed at least five goals in their previous game. Logan Thompson has a 2.24 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage and is likely to start for the Capitals. He stopped 34 of 35 shots against the Blue Jackets in the first meeting this season. Take the Capitals.

Pro Picks
Columbus at Washington
Columbus has won three in a row allowing a total of four goals. They come off a 7-0 win at home yesterday over this first-place Washington squad. 39-year-old star Alex Ovechkin (42 goals) didn't play, resting up for the playoffs. Washington had a bad defensive game, but the defense still ranks sixth in penalty killing, ninth in goals allowed (2.77 per game), and 13th in save percentage. Washington won the previous meeting, 2-1, and this shapes up as more of a defensive duel. Play Columbus/Washington UNDER the total.
