The Columbus Blue Jackets lost an entertaining game to the Washington Capitals in overtime tonight by a final score of 4-3. The Blue Jackets battled back from a two goal deficit to tie the game late in the third period. Joonas Korpisalo looked strong once again and the kid line of Cole Sillinger, Kent Johnson, and Kirill Marchenko was fun to watch even if they didn’t factor in on the scoresheet.
Overall the Jackets showed well in front of another big crowd at Nationwide arena. In addition to a fun Tuesday night game, they give the fans a meaningless point (and free chili) before heading into the painfully long All-Star break.
