I don't believe the Capitals can defeat the Blue Jackets three times on the road in this series. Washington leads this best-of-seven series three games to twon following a 4-3 overtime victory this past Saturday at home.
But the Capitals were lucky to have won that game getting outshot, 16-1, in the third period. I thought the Blue Jackets outplayed the Capitals in that Game 5 road loss. Now they are back home where their effort should get fully rewarded.
The Blue Jackets led the NHL in scoring during the final 28 regular season games. Braden Holtby has stepped up well after not starting the first two games, but I'll still take Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky especially at home.
