The Blue Jackets are heading out to Manitoba tonight to face the Winnipeg Jets. This is the second meeting of the 2 teams this season, the first didn’t go so well for the Jackets and lead to the booing on Halloween triggering defenseman Ryan Murray‘s comments.
There are only a few changes on the roster tonight. As expected, Curtis McElhinney will be starting in goal tonight as starter Sergei Bobrovsky who will be out for 3 weeks with an undisclosed lower-body injury. On the 4th line, David Clarkson will be making his return putting Michael Chaput as a healthy scratch tonight.
