The Washington Capitals begin a back to back road show with the first stop being in Columbus against the Blue Jackets for St. Patrick’s Day. It is the fourth and final time these teams have met this season. The Capitals are 2-1-0 against the Blue Jackets, outscoring them 11-9.
Garnet Hathaway has a goal in each of his games against the Blue Jackets this season with four. Alex Ovechkin has recorded 32 points with 20 goals and 12 assists in 40 career games against Columbus. Since the teams joined the Metropolitan Division in the 2013-14 season, Ovechkin’s 14 goals in that span are tied for the second most against the Blue Jackets.
The Caps continued their hot March with a 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders Tuesday night at Capital One Arena. In front of the passionate fans, Ovechkin scored his 37th goal of the season and 767th of his career to pass Jaromir Jagr for the third most goals in NHL history. Only Gordie Howe and Wayne Gretzky are left to chase.
