The Blackhawks and Blue Jackets meet at Nationwide Arena on Saturday night, both hoping to stop their slide down the playoff standings, as they each have only two wins in their last seven games. Now would be a great time for the Blackhawks to break their five-game losing streak on the road or they risk another team leapfrogging them in the standings.
Saturday’s match will be the seventh time the Blackhawks and Blue Jackets have faced off this season. Chicago has won four of the previous six against Columbus, with two of the games going to overtime or the shootout.
