The Blue Jackets will face the San Jose Sharks for the first time this season, on the road tonight. It's another vital 2 points at stake as they try to keep their rapidly diminishing playoff dreams alive.
After splitting two games at home over the weekend, I have to imagine the Jackets are relieved to be out on the road. My gut says that another lackadaisical performance at home tonight might have seen them booed off the ice.
Instead, they hit the road for their last game in California for the season, where they take on a Sharks team that is the talk of the league on many nights.
