Eastern Conference Playoffs Round 1 Game 4

 

For the first time in their history, the Capitals tied a series 2-2 after losing the first two games at home. Each home loss came in overtime before they won 3-2 in double overtime in Game 3 here Tuesday.

 

Ovechkin scored his third goal of the series, first at even strength, to put the Capitals up 3-0 at 2:49 of the third period. Boone Jenner tipped in a Josh Anderson shot to make it 3-1 at 6:22.

 

Kuznetsov scored his third of the series into an empty net with 2:19 left for a 4-1 lead.

 

Columbus struggled to get its power play set up in the Washington zone and did not have a shot on goal after Kuznetsov was called for tripping Zach Werenski 34 seconds into the game.

 

One of those strange series where the road team has the advantage. It's not over. The series is tied 2-2 and moves back to Washington for game 5 today.

I'm hoping the Blue Jackets come back today and extend the series. I really want to see them continue.
