It\u2019s time for everybody\u2019s favorite: a weekend back-to-back!

They\u2019re 3-3-0 and are a plus-3 in goal differential. Jet Greaves has also provided strong goaltending.<\/p>\n<p>The Caps will take the ice without Pierre-Luc Dubois for a fifth straight game due to a lower-body injury. Rasmus Sandin did not even make the trip due to an upper-body injury he suffered last game. Washington is 11-3-1 in their last 15 against the Blue Jackets and 6 of their last 7 in Nationwide Arena.<\/p>\n<p>Puck drop for Caps-Blue Jackets is shortly after 7:00 pm on Monumental Sports Network 2 with the Washington Wizards being televised on main.
