Beck Malenstyn and Aliaksei Protas scored to give their hopes a boost in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The Capitals' Beck Malenstyn tangles with the Blue Jackets' Nick Blankenburg during the third period Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. In their penultimate preseason game, the final audition for players battling for a roster spot, the Washington Capitals beat the Columbus Blue Jackets, 4-2, at Nationwide Arena on Thursday night in Columbus, Ohio.
Beck Malenstyn and Aliaksei Protas scored in the first period — which Washington dominated, outshooting Columbus 17-5. Brendan Gaunce got the Blue Jackets on the board early in the second, but the Capitals extended their lead on a shorthanded goal by Riley Sutter with just over five minutes left in the game.
Capitals Coach Spencer Carbery intends to use Saturday’s preseason finale — another matchup with the Blue Jackets, this time at Capital One Arena — as a dress rehearsal for the opening night lineup, so Thursday’s game was the last chance for players on the fringes of the roster to state their case. Malenstyn appears to have his spot locked up, but scoring will only help his cause, in addition to his strong work on the penalty kill and as a forechecker.
Against the Blue Jackets, McMichael won 11 of 14 faceoffs and had four shot attempts in 15:28. He wasn’t as active offensively as he was in Tuesday’s overtime win at Boston — it’s hard to match 10 shots on goal — but he still looked poised and confident with the puck.
