Just six days ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets fell in a shootout to the Pittsburgh Penguins and now they’ll do it all over again. That first matchup removed any doubt that these teams do NOT care for each other, and consider this a rivalry. It was a physical, hard-fought battle even if it got chippy too often. Look for more of the same tonight. Can the Blue Jackets survive another battle like that? The last few weeks have proven costly.
We get a break in that Kris Letang will not play tonight due to a lower body injury.
