Columbus performed quite poorly last season. The team showed frankly talentless hockey and at the end of the regular season was the worst in the East, scoring only 66 points in 82 games. That said, the Blue Jackets were good in the preseason, and now the most important thing is to keep the momentum going for the start of the season. After going 1:6 with Buffalo, Columbus had three great games where they beat St. Louis (3:0), just Washington (8:4) and Buffalo by a score of 6:3.

Washington somehow miraculously made it to the playoffs last season, but as expected, the Capitals had nothing at all to do there. They lost to the Rangers (0:4). They should hardly expect any accomplishments this season, as they did very poorly in the preseason - one win over New Jersey (5:3) and three defeats (2:6 against Philadelphia, 2:4 against Boston and also 4:8 against Columbus).

Analysts of bookmaker companies consider Columbus as the favorite in the upcoming meeting, with which we agree 100%. The Blue Jackets are many times better in the preseason, but the results of the Capitals are not particularly pleasant to watch. In addition, Washington has already managed to bounce back from the previous day's 4:8 loss in front of their fans, so we doubt they'll have much success on the road.
