The Caps get set to play the final home game of their regular-season slate, taking on a Columbus team that kicked them around just over 24 hours ago. They’ll have the captain back in the lineup, but most importantly for the Caps will be to start to find their game again and ramp up for the playoffs – and perhaps exact a little revenge for yesterday’s drubbing in the process.
