It wouldn't rank as an upset along the lines of last spring's Stanley Cup playoff opening-round victory over the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning, but the Columbus Blue Jackets want it just as much.
After the Blue Jackets shockingly defeated the Maple Leafs 4-3 in overtime on Thursday -- erasing a three-goal deficit en route to the victory in Toronto -- Columbus has an opportunity to eliminate Toronto on Friday night.
The Blue Jackets lead the best-of-five Eastern Conference qualifying series 2-1 and will go for the kill in the hopes of advancing to the Stanley Cup tournament.
