The opening night roster is almost set for the Columbus Blue Jackets. But, with two preseason games remaining, there are still three battles to keep an eye on.
It seems like head coach Dean Evason has pretty much locked in his top two lines ahead of the season. Last year's #1 line of Dmitri Voronkov, Sean Monahan, and Kirill Marchenko have been reunited and they look ready to go.
On the second line, a now healthy Boone Jenner brings some experience and sandpaper to the growing chemistry between Adam Fantilli and Kent Johnson.
The Jackets also return their top defense pairing from last year, with Zach Werenski and Dante Fabbro looking to pick up where they left off.
