Columbus Blue Jackets, 37-27-3, 77 points, 5th Metro, 9th East

The Columbus Blue Jackets conclude their regular season series with the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight with the second of their home-and-home from Nationwide Arena. Columbus dropped Thursday’s game from PPG Paints Arena 3-0. Joonas Korpisalo put up a strong effort with 28 saves on 30 shots, but the offense failed to muster anything past Matt Murray. John Tortorella hopes his team will respond at the most crucial time, with both the Canadiens and Hurricanes, two teams ahead of Columbus in the wild card race, losing Friday night.
