The Blue Jackets are on the road with an early start, taking on the Panthers in Florida today at 3:30pm Eastern Time. They hope to extend their winning streak to three games against a team that is struggling.
The Jackets won a back-and-forth matchup against the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night, 6-5 in a shootout for their second straight win. Meanwhile, the Panthers lost their fourth in a row on Thursday night, 2-1 at home.
The back-to-back defending champion cats are in the middle of a six-game homestand, where they have lost all four games so far.
