The Blue Jackets all catch up to the play and drive the net hard, ultimately ending up with four men down low. The Caps respond with numbers and collapse to the net. Things are looking alright, despite the easy transition and zone entry for the Jackets:
In just a second things fall apart. Ward and Laich both swing to the left wing side. Fehr stays down in the slot (as a center, that’s probably his defensive responsibility there). Nobody stays with Johansen, and he makes the Caps pay.
