Game 38 Preview and Open Thread: Columbus Blue Jackets at Ottawa Senators
It’s a Kelly sandwich!After splitting their games over the weekend, the Ottawa Senators remain in town to take on the lowly Blue Jackets. While the Sens sit 7 points out of a playoff spot, #Lumbus sits 20 (!!) points behind the Penguins and Islanders. While nobody is mathematically eliminated from the playoffs yet, the Jackets’ odds already sit at 0.009%. All this to say, the Sens are the definite favourite tonight and need to play like it.
The Sens re-assigned Jacob Bernard-Docker to Belleville with the return of a healthy Erik Brännström, meaning the Sens have no spare healthy players with the big club. Forsberg is the likely starter. Here are this morning’s lines:
