On the heels of a big 3-1 home victory over the New York Rangers on Friday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets traveled to Saint Paul to take on the Minnesota Wild on the second night of a back to back. The Minnesota Wild were icing a thin lineup due to injuries throughout the roster - the Wild missed key contributors like Charlie Coyle, Nino Niederreiter, and Marcus Foligno. For the Blue Jackets, only Boone Jenner and Gabriel Carlsson were unavailable due to injury.
After his big win on Friday night, Sergei Bobrovsky would again get the call in net opposite Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk.
