Capitals try to save sinking playoff hopes vs. Jackets | |
The Washington Capitals will look to keep their fading playoff hopes alive when they host the road-weary Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday night. The Capitals (33-31-7, 73 points) have just five wins in their last 17 games and currently sit on the outside, looking in at the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins, the two teams in wild-card position in the Eastern Conference. The Capitals are coming off a 5-3 defeat on the road to the Minnesota Wild on Sunday, their fourth straight game allowing at least four goals. In three of those contests, they've yielded five.
