Columbus Blue Jackets (4-7-4, 12 points, 8th Metro, 16th East)
vs
Pittsburgh Penguins (7-6-0, 14 points, 6th Metro, 13th East)
Only two points separate these two teams in the standings, but the Penguins, after a slow start, are on a four-game winning streak and have three more regulation wins than the Blue Jackets. They also have two games in hand over Columbus.
The Jackets have lost five straight, including two third-period blown leads. This team has a bad habit of spending more and more time in their own zone as the game progresses.
