It’s the start of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight for the Columbus Blue Jackets. In their 17 years of NHL hockey this is only their 16th playoff game ever.
In this series for the first time in franchise history, the number of playoff games the Columbus Blue Jackets have played will finally outpace their years of existence. A feat that took the Vegas Golden Knights one season to accomplish.
The Washington Capitals on the other hand are in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the 10th time in 11 seasons. Experience certainly is on the side of the Caps.
