In their last game before a nine-day break, the Blue Jackets lost to the Washington Capitals 4-3 in overtime.
, with just one game remaining before their bye week, the Blue Jackets could have approached Tuesday's game against the Washington Capitals as one final box to check before a week off.
The goal seemed to snap the Blue Jackets back into focus, and their energy level was visibly higher for the rest of the game. In the second period, when the Capitals pulled ahead 3-1, it took less than three minutes for Eric Robinson to score his fourth goal of the season, finishing an odd-man rush opportunity created by Mathieu Olivier.
The overtime loss kept the Blue Jackets in last place in the NHL standings heading into the All-Star break. The final two games before the break feature four teams ahead of the Blue Jackets in the standings — in fact, all four teams are in the playoff hunt — so Columbus is assured of remaining at the bottom at least until games resume next Monday, Feb. 6.
Peeke's main role for the Blue Jackets will always be defense first, and the 24-year-old blueliner is well aware of that. But after scoring just two goals last season, both into empty nets, he has five so far this year — a mark that leads all of the Blue Jackets' defensemen.
