Command Analysis

Washington Capitals

Washington are in the top-6 in the Eastern Conference with a total of 50 points. They team is having a rough season; currently, they are alternating between victories and defeats and can't mount a winning streak. The Capitals lost to Buffalo (4:5 ОТ) and Nashville (2:3) at home, but crushed Columbus (6:2) away. Soon, Wilson and Backstrom will return to the ranks and strengthen the team's offensive line. On average, the Capitals score three to four goals per game.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Columbus remain the main outsiders in the league. They are nine points behind Montreal who sit bottom of the Atlantic Division. The Blue Jackets lost to Ottawa (0:4) and Washington (2:6), but managed to overcome Carolina at home (4:3 SO). Because of their poor defense (one of the worst in the league), Columbus are pretty much forced to play on collision courses. The Jackets got only two away wins this season.
