Blue Jackets game #2 preview, time for another Wild home opener

It will be the second road home opener for the Blue Jackets, and in another tough environment. However, the Jackets have fared pretty well in Minnesota historically, with an all-time record of 13-17-5 in the Twin Cities.
As with Nashville, this will be a difficult early season road test. For a team that needs a quick bounce-back performance, it will be important to find their game early and stay on it.
