The Columbus Blue Jackets welcome the St. Louis Blues into Nationwide Arena for the one and only time this season.
The Blues come into Columbus a struggling team, and the Blue Jackets are hot, so this game could go either way. The Blues have lost six straight games and will be desperate to get this win.
St. Louis has started their season 3-6-2 and are dead last in the Central Division, and that’s one division that you absolutely do not want to fall behind in, or you’ll get buried quick. After 11 games, the Blues sit 10 points behind Colorado and have a goal differential of -16. They haven’t played well at all, so they’ll be looking to stop the CBJ hot streak.
The Jackets are riding high after beating the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night. That win pushed the Jackets win streak to three games. The Jackets are only 2-3 at home and need to start picking up some more wins. Conversely, the Blues are 2-2 on the road, so something will need to give.
The Blue Jackets are 6th in the Metro, 9th in the East, and 17th in the NHL.
