The Columbus Blue Jackets hosted the Metropolitain Division leading New York Islanders last night, looking to continue their four game winning streak as the team found its game following a five game losing streak. The Islanders come to town on the heels of a 3-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.
Heading into the game, it appeared that there would be no lineup changes. Josh Anderson, who took a big hit from Tom Wilson early in Tuesday’s win, was available and skating the morning of Thursday’s game.
Sergei Bobrovsky again got the start for the Blue Jackets, thanks to his recent run of play.
