After alternating wins and losses in their last four games, the Columbus Blue Jackets take on the Boston Bruins Monday night from TD Garden.
The Jackets come off a 2-1 Saturday night loss in Carolina against the Hurricanes, while the Bruins dropped their game with the Rangers 3-2 in overtime. They have dropped two-straight. As Columbus enters in third place, and just two points back of first place New Jersey, they are just six points above the basement of the division.
Such is life in the crowded Metropolitan Division.
