Preview: Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Nashville Predators 11/30/21

A concern for me is the lack of secondary scoring. Eeli Tolvanen, Nick Cousins, Luke Kunin, and Colton Sissons are simply not showing up on the scoresheet.
I had to look twice at Columbus’s record (12-7-0) on the season. They’ve had a lot of loss (in multiple ways) over the last season, and I expected them to be struggling a bit more. They’re not.
