Preview: the Blue Jackets come to test the mettle of the Maple Leafs

The Columbus Blue Jackets are coming to town, and I confess that I know nothing about this team. We’ll have to go on a voyage of discovery together.

They currently sit at the top of the Metropolitan Division, which is what most good predictions models had them at this season. The fact that the two New York teams who are supposed to be duking it out for last are two and three is testimony to how snarled up the Metro is this season. And how weirdly the Penguins and the Capitals are playing.

Columbus is fourth in the league, right behind Toronto, with 26 points to the Leafs’ 28.
