Next Saturday will be a very important date in the NHL calendar for Columbus Blue Jackets as they still have some chances of qualifying for the Eastern Conference playoffs. However, it’s important noting that they’ll face Washington Capitals, a very tough opponent that will be a huge test for the Blue Jackets’ defensive line since the early instances of their confrontation.
In this regard, it must be noted that Columbus Blue Jackets hold a streak of 2 victories in a row, but they still are the third worst defensive line in the Metropolitan Division with 266 conceded goals throughout the season. Additionally, it’s worth noting that this will be their third home game in a row, so it’s certain that the Nationwide Arena will be sold-out.
On Washington Capitals’ side, this team is 3 points behind Winnipeg Jets, so they’re also expected to take the rest of their regular season games very seriously to crown this historic season with a very well-deserved Presidents’ Cup. Despite that expectation, this team has remained as one of the most irregular in the short term, a fact that can be ratified after not being able to win in regulation time during their last 2 games in a row.
