The Columbus Blue Jackets face off with the Carolina Hurricanes tonight in a game that may prove to be much more important to the Canes than the Jackets. As the Blue Jackets see the President’s Trophy slowly slip from their grasp, their remaining games become much more about staying in good shape and keeping their legs under them. That’s not to say they’re not still trying to win.
The Jackets are currently two points ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and five behind the Washington Capitals. They also have a game in hand on both those teams.
