Columbus Blue Jackets (33-22-15, 81 points, 6th Metro, 9th East)
vs.
Tampa Bay Lightning (43-21-6, 92 points, 2nd Atlantic, 2nd East)
After a whiplash-inducing series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Jackets had less than 48 hours to regroup and face a familiar foe, who has the chip of all chips on their shoulders right now - good ol’ Tampa Bay Lightning.
Their last meetup in a playoff series was unforgettable for the Blue Jackets - a tidy 4-game sweep of a team projected by many to win the Stanley Cup, just last season.
