After a long layoff this week (thanks, NHL- where were these in November and December?), the Columbus Blue Jackets returned home to take on the Edmonton Oilers in the second and final meeting between the two teams. The first, Connor McDavid’s return to action, led to a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of the Oilers. Following morning skate, Coach Tortorella noted that the club would have a different look on the power play tonight, including featuring William Karlsson.
In team news, Jack Johnson would miss tonight’s game while dealing with an upper body injury suffered last weekend.
