Postgame Recap: Caps 6 Blue Jackets 3

The Caps return to Columbus was a successful one as behind 6 goals they were able again to keep their lead in the Metro Division to 18 points.

My Thoughts:

*Evgeny Kiznersov had 4 assists last night. Kuz has been a special player this year and he was just awesome once again last night. 

*Nick Backstrom scored 2 goals as he was the shooter last night. 

*Nice to see youngster Andre Burakovsky score on a beautiful shot that hit the top corner over Sergei Bobrovsky. That second line for the Caps was buzzing all night. 

*Alex Ovechkin scored his 28th of the season after Marcus Johansson was high stocked and the Caps got a 4 minute power play on the double minor. OV was able to get the first one. 

*Marcus Johansson and Jason Chimera were able to add goals as well. The third line has played very well since Johansson was put at center there. 

*Overall the Caps won their second in a row and will attempt to start a new winning streak. Meanwhile they are just running away with the Eastern Conference. 

What's Next: Fri. Jan. 22nd vs. Anaheim 7:00 pm on CSN
