Heading into their third game in four nights, the Columbus Blue Jackets looked to carry on with the momentum the team had developed since the All Star Break (and the coffee mug’s appearance). Joonas Korpisalo made his 13th appearance in 14 games as he took back control of the net from Curtis McElhinney. Justin Falk cleared waivers, David Clarkson resumed skating, and the team hoped to continue on its solid run of play recently.
Special stick taps to Brandon Dubinsky, who was scheduled to play in his 600th career NHL game against the Devils.
