The first of two straight afternoon hockey games on the weekend, the Columbus Blue Jackets had their hands full against a scrappy Flyers team, being led by their unlikely hero, rookie Carter Hart. Going into the afternoon, Hart has led the Flyers to two victories in his first two career NHL games. This coming after the Flyers fired their head coach, Dave Hakstol, and the organizational dysfunction of their situation.
The Jackets are coming off of a victory against the Eastern Conference current last place incumbent, New Jersey Devils. A team they will face again in 24 hours.
