Saturday night the Columbus Blue Jackets completed the second of their back-to-back against the Washington Capitals.
Here's What Happened.
Just 1:03 into the opening frame the Caps struck first when Brett Connolly sniped one past Sergei Bobrovsky in the slot.
Alex Chiasson would put the Capitals ahead 2-0 moments later, 1:03 after the first goal, essentially the same way Connolly scored his shot.
Washington had just three shots after the first 17:00 and was outshot 8-6 for the first 20.
No penalties.
Hits:
Washington 14-9
The Jackets needed to set the tone of the second period early and they did just that.
