Washington at Columbus

Both teams have been struggling lately, but Washington is fighting for a playoff spot while Columbus has the fewest points in the NHL. Joonas Korpisalo will be in net tonight for the Blue Jackets and he is 8-9-2 with a 3.31 goals-against average. Korpisalo gave up five goals in a 5-2 loss to Vancouver his last start and he has allowed 20 goals his past five appearances. Darcy Kuemper is likely the starter for the Capitals and he owns a 2.62 GAA and .915 save percentage with five shutouts this season, winning back-to-back decisions vs. Columbus earlier this month. Three of the past four meetings have gone OVER and the Capitals are 7-3 OVER playing with one day of rest. The Caps are also 6-1-2 OVER when facing a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game. Columbus is 51-23-4 OVER its past 78 home games and 22-10-4 OVER its past 36 games playing with two days rest. Take the Capitals and the OVER.
