Tonight will be the fourth time in the last four games that the Blue Jackets are rested against an opponent who played in the night before. This will be the third of those games in which the opponent played an OT game. Last night Montreal defeated the Devils 4-3 in New Jersey.
Last night, Les Habitants used Al Montoya in goal, which means that for the first time since February 26, 2015, Columbus will be facing Carey Price. In case you have not heard, Price was out for the 5 meetings since then.
The first meeting against Montreal was that record-breaking 10-0 victory in November.
