Jakob Chychrun scored twice, while Tom Wilson and John Carlson each had a goal with an assist, as the Washington Capitals rolled to a 5-1 home victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night.

Justin Sourdif added two assists and Logan Thompson stopped 22 of 23 shots for the Capitals, who broke the game open with three goals in the second period to win for the fourth time in five games.

Chychrun, the defensemen who posted 20 goals last season, has recorded four of his eight this campaign in the last three contests.

Denton Mateychuk scored early in the third period for the Blue Jackets, who played without star Kirill Marchenko as he deals with muscle tightness that reportedly surfaced during Monday's morning skate. Marchenko entered play Monday with a team-leading 22 points.
