Washington Capitals (50-19-9, 109 points, 1st Metropolitan, 1st East)
at
Columbus Blue Jackets (36-33-9, 81 points, 4th Metropolitan, 9th East)
The Blue Jackets technically aren’t in do or die territory yet, but we’re pretty much there. The Jackets can drop no more than one point in their last four games to keep their playoff hopes alive; winning out allows the Montreal Canadiens to gain one more loser point, while winning out in regulation allows for the Habs to gain two points, as long as it’s not a regulation win of their own.
