Game Preview
The Washington Capitals aim to carry their October momentum into November as they host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. The Capitals closed last month strong, going 7-2-0 after dropping their opener, including two recent wins over the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens.
"Consistency is everything," said forward Tom Wilson, highlighting the team’s focus on quickly bouncing back after any setback. Washington’s offense, averaging 4.11 goals per game, has significantly improved from last season when they ranked near the bottom of the league.
Coach Spencer Carbery credits the team’s increased offensive zone time and higher shot volume for the boost in scoring. Dylan Strome (13 points), Alex Ovechkin (10), and Connor McMichael (10) lead the offense, with Wilson pacing the team at six goals.
The Blue Jackets, meanwhile, look to bounce back from a 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets that ended a four-game point streak. Despite this loss, Columbus has surprised many with a solid 5-4-1 start, attributed to their commitment to playing "winning hockey," according to coach Dean Evason.
Columbus forward Mathieu Olivier has emerged as an unexpected contributor, tying for second on the team with four goals and showing he’s more than just an enforcer.
