This meeting marks the first for the two Metro Division opponents this season. Coming off a road overtime win against the Hurricanes, the Columbus Blue Jackets should be excited to come back to Nationwide Arena.
So far, the Rangers have lost to the Colorado Avalanche, Toronto Maple Leafs and the St. Louis Blues. They beat the Montreal Canadiens this past Sunday for their only win.
Each year in the past few years, the NHL world has been waiting for the Rangers to start declining, but it hasn’t happened yet. Their next few games might be huge in figuring out where the organization is headed.
