This series with Ottawa this season has been weird. The first meeting was a shutout by the Senators in Nationwide Arena, yet the Blue Jackets outshot them 42-28. Three days later, the teams met again - this time in Ottawa - and it was all goals all the time. With Joonas Korpisalo in net, Ottawa scored three unanswered goals in the second, then Columbus responded with three straight in the third before Ottawa tied it. Cam Atkinson scored the winner in OT.
Ottawa finds themselves in the thick of the Atlantic Division playoff picture. They are current in second place, six pionts behind Montreal and two points ahead of Boston.
