Washington Capitals vs Columbus Blue Jackets
Head-to-Head: Hurricanes 2-0 Islanders
How to Watch: US TV: ESPN, Monumental Sports Network; ESPN+. Canada TV: SN360
Time: 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
The last game of this round of NHL predictions could be one of the final games for Alex Ovechkin as the Washington Capitals visit the Columbus Blue Jackets. Logan Thompson is the projected starter for the Caps, who are 7-3 in their previous 10 games. However, it’s too little too late for Washington. Ovechkin is currently sitting on a team-leading 32 goals.
Jet Greaves is slated to get the call for the Blue Jackets, who are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games. The coaching change to Rick Bowness gave Columbus some hope. However, a late-season dip cost the Blue Jackets a postseason spot. Adam Fantilli has four points in his last 10 games.
This could be one of the final times we see the Great Eight on the ice. Washington should get the win in this one.
Prediction: Capitals win 4-3.
