Blue Jackets vs. Capitals Prediction

The Capitals come into this game as clear favorites, and it makes perfect sense. They’ve been the better team on both ends of the ice, and they’re still locked into a battle for playoff positioning, so expect them to come out with intensity.

Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets have struggled heavily, especially on defense, and have been one of the worst teams in terms of goals allowed per game. Washington's offensive weapons like Alexander Ovechkin and Tom Wilson should have plenty of opportunities to take advantage of CBJ’s shaky blue line and inconsistent goaltending.

With the Caps needing this win and Columbus just playing out the season, I’m rolling with the more motivated, better team to take care of business on the road.
