The Blue Jackets return to action tonight at Nationwide Arena, hosting the Detroit Red Wings for the first and only time this season.
It's the second matchup between the two teams, with Detroit beating the Jackets 4-3 in overtime back on November 22nd. That was one of the most frustrating losses this season by the Jackets, who led 3-1 with under 10 minutes to go.
Tonight, they will get their chance for revenge against a Detroit team that has gone 1-3-1 since that matchup in against Columbus.
The Opponent
After beating the Blue Jackets, the Red Wings promptly lost four games in a row.
