Nic Dowd had an incredible feat of strength on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
During a post-whistle meeting of the minds, Dowd removed three (!) Blue Jackets players out of the fray… at the same time.
It was RMNB’s tenth birthday and we had a party and the Caps lost 5-2 to the Blue Jackets and that sucks.
The Caps out-shot the Blooj 39 to 38 and out-attempted them at five-on-five 49 to 46.

After a nice run on the road, the Washington Capitals had a bit of a letdown game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, and they did it during our anniversary party, which was rude frankly.
Cam Atkinson scored first for the Blue Jackets, beating Braden Holtby on the near post. Ryan Murray was the beneficiary of Nick Jensen getting beat to make it 2-0 in the second period. Alex Ovechkin got a nasty backhander to crack the shutout in the third, but Columbus responded with two more goals — Nash and Bjorkstrand — to earn a 4-1 lead. Nicklas Backstrom in his big return, but Atkinson got the empty netter.
Caps lose 5-2.

The Caps are back at home and hosting the Columbus Blue Jackets. Hopefully the boys in red can extend their winning streak to seven games. We’ll be in DC for our 10th anniversary party and you should be too.
Puck drop is at 7PM. Finally a normal hour. Here is your injury report.

The Capitals have made it home after a successful 3-0 road trip. Tonight, the Columbus Blue Jackets are stopping by Capital One Arena. The Capitals are currently on a six game winning streak, we are celebrating our 10th birthday, and Nicklas Backstrom is BACK(strom) in the lineup. That last one was a reach, I apologize, but everything is looking pretty dandy these days.
Finally, the game is back to a normal time. Puck drop is at 7PM and Pete will have a recap for you.
