COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Arizona Coyotes are on the road again, playing away from home for the NHL-high 20th time this season, and the Columbus Blue Jackets are returning home triumphantly Saturday night from New Jersey to finish off back-to-back games.
The Blue Jackets rebounded from a 4-1 loss at home on Tuesday by going to New Jersey and whipping the Devils 5-3 on Friday night.
The win vaulted the Blue Jackets (18-10-1) past the Devils into a first-place tie atop the Metropolitan Division with the Washington Capitals. But Columbus coach John Tortorella said he isn't looking at the standings at this point in the season.
