Columbus Blue Jackets at Washington Capitals Matchup Preview 4/15/18
And Artemi Panarin's overtime victor?
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Artemi Panarin turned out to be everything the Columbus Blue Jackets were looking for when they traded for him last summer: A dead-eye sniper and deft puck distributor who can get game-breaking goals and make everyone around him better.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 54 saves, Matt Calvert scored the victor 12:22 into overtime and the Columbus Blue Jackets overcame two goals from Alex Ovechkin to beat the Washington Capitals 5-4 on Sunday night and take a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series. We go out there knowing we're going to win. "There's a bit of a swagger that we truly have". Bobrovsky, who entered the arena in a beige trenchcoat as sharp as his play in net, entered these playoffs 3-10 with a 3.73 goals-against average and.887 save percentage but has now stopped 81 of 88 shots through two games. "So we're going to give him a whack at this here and see where we go".
Game 3 of the series is in Columbus on Tuesday night at 7.30 p.m. ET. He was peppered with 58 shots by the Capitals in Game 2 but came up with big saves time and again when Columbus was backed up in the defensive zone for long stretches. "It doesn't matter what's in the past". Jay Beagle's early goal and Ovechkin's two on the power play put Washington up 3-1 before undisciplined play took its toll. Anderson's hit was definitely a borderline major penalty, however it set the pace of the series; this will be the benchmark for future calls and the Blue Jackets need to remember that.
"You're just trying to make the next save", Quick said. Dubois had 20 goals and 28 assists in the regular season, making him the most productive rookie in Blue Jackets history. Alex Ovechkin was in overdrive mode from the outset and looked like he was there to take charge of the situation and win the game for his team.
Indeed, Columbus has scored twice on the power play in each game.

Cuba to Begin Session to Elect New President a Day Early
The Cuban Government has said it does not know what is behind the illness and has been working with USA and Canadian officials to investigate.
"I don't think anybody's gotten faster [over the past month]", Columbus coach John Tortorella said. We're just good at moving on. But they annually seem to run into a hot goaltender or an opponent that's tougher, more disciplined or just better than they are. "That has to be straightened out moving forward". The last three years, they have lost in the 2nd round and the last time that they made it to the Stanley Cup Finals was 1997/98.
Through three games of their first-round series, both the Philadelphia Flyers and Pittsburgh Penguins have been able to do just that, with the Penguins parking a bad Game 2 to win Sunday afternoon and take a 2-1 series lead. Barden Holtby will be back in the crease for the Capitals and while he has struggled on the road, we note that he has gone 14-6 with a 2.62 GAA against the Blue Jackets in his career.
So while there's a sense of urgency for the Metropolitan Division champions given their past playoff failures, it's not yet desperation.
Washington Capitals winger Andre Burakovsky will not travel with the team to Columbus, out for at least the next two games with what the team is calling an "upper-body" injury. "But at the same time, your group has an opportunity to grow, fight their way back". "There's just not a lot of room for error". We're not going away.
The Caps would eventually fall in overtime, but it's not like they went down without a fight.
