COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For the second time in three days, the Columbus Blue Jackets face a team playing the second night of a back-to-back on the road.
The Winnipeg Jets visit Nationwide Arena on Friday night after a hard-fought, 2-1 overtime loss to the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
Coming off a five-day break, the Jets played the Penguins to a stalemate Thursday before a turnover led to Phil Kessel's winning goal 67 seconds into the extra period.
"Not a bad way to start the road trip," Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice said.
