The Washington Capitals brought two fresh faces into their Sunday evening game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Nicklas Backstrom and Tom Wilson returned to action for a game that was\u2026 well\u2026 not very good, aside from the winning part.<\/p>\n
Erik Gustafsson continued his improbably hot streak, thanks to a fortunate bounce near the crease. Then we went a million years without a goal. Kuemper secured his league-leading fourth shutout of the season.<\/p>\n

We don’t know how Backstrom and Wilson will compete for the rest of the season; it’s just a blessing to have them both back. That and a win is more than enough.<\/p>\n Headline photo: <\/em>@clairehardie7<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
