Columbus Blue Jackets (11-10-3, 25 points, 7th Metro, 11th East)
at
Edmonton Oilers (13-10-2, 28 points, 5th Pacific, 8th West)
The last time these two teams met, the Blue Jackets shocked us all by blowing out the Oilers. Now, these teams find each other in similar situations. Both teams are struggling with special teams and have similar save percentages. While they are only three points apart in the standings, the expectations are wildly different. The Oilers again find themselves underperforming to start the season, while the Jackets have been outperforming expectations.
