"Washington's blueliners filled up the scoresheet tonight in the Capitals' win over the Blue Jackets. Plus: Whatever adjustments the Washington Capitals made to their special teams between Saturday's game against Tampa and tonight seemed to work, because both the power play and penalty kill looked much more lively. They held the Columbus Blue Jackets' power play off the board and, even more importantly, they scored a power play goal!"
"Caps Player of the Game: Jakob Chychrun have yourself a night! His two goals, including one on the power play, extended his goal streak to three games (3G) and his point streak to eight games (4G, 6A). With his two goals tonight, he is now second in the NHL in goals from defenseman with eight tallies, trailing only Colorado's Cale Makar."
Washington's blueliners filled the scoresheet in a win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, producing multiple goals from the defensive corps. Special teams adjustments between Saturday's Tampa game and tonight yielded a livelier power play and penalty kill; the Capitals held the Blue Jackets' power play scoreless and converted a power play goal. Goaltender Logan Thompson carried a near-shutout until a late rough goal by Columbus ended the bid. Jakob Chychrun recorded two goals, including the power play marker, extending his goal streak to three games and his point streak to eight, and moved to second among NHL defensemen in goals with eight.
