Coming off an exciting overtime win over divisional foe Carolina, the Columbus Blue Jackets will face off against another Metro opponent tonight. This will be the third divisional game in the team’s first four games.
This will also be the first of a back-to-back for Columbus. After the Rangers come to Nationwide, the Blue Jackets will be headed to Minnesota to face off against the Wild. This will be the Jackets’ second back-to-back on the season.
Rick Nash once again returns to Columbus tonight. The vitriol toward Nash has resided in recent visits, so expect the same boos directed at him tonight.
