Columbus looks to bounce back from two tough losses to Pittsburgh and Ottawa, and both went into overtime. Anthony Duclair completed a hat trick with a power-play goal to win it for the Senators while Joonas Korpisalo had 17 saves for the Blue Jackets in a losing cause. Korpisalo came into the game after Elvis Merzlikins was pulled after allowing two goals on eight shots. Columbus has won the last three meetings and five of the last six, including 5-2 on Dec. 9, and Washington has scored a total of only three goals the last three meetings. The Blue Jackets have won their last four Monday games while the Capitals are 1-6 on Monday. Korpisalo had 37 saves in the Blue Jackets' win over the Caps last Monday. Play the Blue Jackets.
