Capitals Edge Blue Jackets 2-1: Surprising Preseason Finale Sparks New Hopes
The Washington Capitals brought an end to their preseason schedule with a second contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night. The final exhibition matchup represented the last chance for some of the team’s veterans to get up to game speed before the Home Opener on Wednesday.
There were multiple posts and crossbars hit in the first period, but neither team could get on the board. Declan Chisholm opened the scoring in the second after a few nice feeds from Ivan Miroshnichenko and Ryan Leonard. Pierre-Luc Dubois finished off a two-on-one to extend the lead. Mathieu Olivier potted a late goal for the Blue Jackets.
