The Blue Jackets have another quick turn-around. It became more difficult today. After winning at home last night over the New York Islanders, they were unable to depart for Ottawa last night because of a mechanical issue with their plane.
They were also unable to depart this morning, which has resulted in the game being pushed back a half hour to 7:30 Eastern. They finally left the ground from Columbus around 2:30 this afternoon.
It sounds like the team has safely arrived in Canada's capital city, so tonight's game will be a go.
The Opponent
The Ottawa Senators are similar to the Blue Jackets in a lot of ways.
