Columbus Blue Jackets (4-4-2)

Washington Capitals (4-4-1)

The Caps’ season long five-game homestand continues on Saturday night when the Columbus Blue Jackets make the first of two November visits to Capital One Arena. The Jackets return to the District in exactly two weeks, supplying the opposition for the second game of the Caps’ next homestand, a four-game run that stretches through Black Friday.

In their most recent game on Thursday against the New York Islanders, the Caps thoroughly outplayed the Isles for the first 40 minutes, only to enter the third period trailing 3-0. That ended up being the final score; ex-Caps goalie Semyon Varlamov stopped all 32 shots he faced for the Isles, halting Washington’s three-game winning streak.

Odds on Locker mentioning "puck luck" tonight?

The over/under this board mentions puck luck tonight..50?

 

[bacchist]

2 points for the Caps, and 2 points for Phillips.

 

[usiel]

Surprised Cbus got a weekend date at the Verizon Center they are generally banished to Mondays/Tuesdays.

 

[Eirikrautha]

Only see two possible outcomes here: a grindy, low-scoring game where the Caps can maybe claw a last minute win out of it (or loss), or a blowout from the beginning where CBJ blows their doors off from the beginning. I just don't see it going the other way. A lot will depend on Lindgren...

Odds on Locker mentioning "puck luck" tonight?

Or that Oshie is a “hands guy”.

Or Kuzy has “great edgework”.

All of which Joe B will pretend to never have heard before and be gobsmacked, lol.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

PP is garbage, per usual.

 

[usiel]

Unsurprising crap PP.

Rinky-dink call on the penalty shot from what I saw on the replay.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Come on Tom

 

[usiel]

Wilson with a penalty shot....unsurprising nope.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

First the Ovechkin penalty shot from earlier this season, now this Wilson attempt... sometimes I just wish that I didn't have eyeballs.

 

[RedRocking]

Tom has the same problem as Ovi - their backhand is no threat. Not hard for goalies to stay patient.

 

[hockeykicker]

 

[usiel]

Sandin has no slap shot that I can see. Now I haven't seen 100% of game minutes but still waiting for one slap shot.

 

[Eirikrautha]

Ugggh. It just keeps getting better and better...
