Columbus at Washington

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.
