This is quick revenge for Washington, which lost 2-1 in overtime at Columbus on Tuesday when Cam Atkinson scored the game-winner. The Capitals have won two straight since, while allowing only one goal, including a 1-0 win over Detroit on Friday. Jay Beagle scored with 5:11 left in the game and Braden Holtby made 25 saves. Columbus beat the Rangers 4-2, and Matt Calvert scored the short-handed, tie-breaking goal last out. Sergei Bobrovsky made 25 saves for the Blue Jackets. Holtby is expected to get the start in this matchup, and he has a 1.91 goals-against average in 13 starts. Bobrovsky is 9-4-1 with a 2.20 GAA in 14 starts. Columbus is just 1-6 its last seven games in Washington and 1-4 its last five road games overall. Washington has won eight of the last 11 meetings. Play the Capitals.
