Facing another game where a regulation loss meant elimination, the Blue Jackets routed the Capitals with a flurry of goals, physicality and fists for an entertaining afternoon at sold-out Nationwide Arena.

But you still have to take care of business, and the Blue Jackets did that. Fantilli had a pair of goals to lead the attack, James van Riemsdyk added a Gordie Howe hat trick and Zach Werenski, Kent Johnson, Sean Monahan and Cole Sillinger all got on the board.
