Acccording to hockey-reference, we are 3rd in most Ovechkin goals against (43) behind Tampa (48) and Atlanta/Winnipeg (47). He's scored the most points overall against one team against us though with 95 but he's also played the most games against (81) us. He really owned the ThrasherJets with 91 points in 65 games.
Elvis and Riley Nash got knocked out of the game earlier as well. Unbelievable what Columbus keeps going through injury wise.
At least if CBJ wins, their tie breaker loses.
Still 3 games to make up 2 points on them. But yeah, they don't go away. And good for them. We'll see how our new team measures up to that attitude.
Yeah, Columbus is putting on a good fight, but man, those injuries have put a damper on them. Ottawa I think was down to 9 forwards at one point tonight (including a guy they called up, got there half way through the game, was going to play, but his equipment didn't make it) and CBJ still struggled to pull it out. Somehow, even as the walking dead, they'll still take us down to the end of the year darn it.
That’s correct. Started the game with 10 forwards, were up to 11 when Matthew Peca arrived .... but Balcers’ equipment didn’t. Then 2 guys got hurt so down to 9 forwards lol.
