Columbus Blue Jackets (42-30-4, 88 points, 5th Metro, 9th East)
vs.
Montreal Canadiens (41-28-8, 90 points, 4th Atlantic, 8th East)
This is a big one. Columbus is two points behind Montreal for the final playoff position in the East (with a game in hand). A regulation win puts Columbus in that spot and in control of their own destiny. A loss would mean a four point hole with just five games left to play.
