Tonight is the start of a three games in four nights in the Golden State for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Union Blue embarks having won two in a row, over Chicago and Washington. Their opponents tonight are the Los Angeles Kings, winners of 5 of their last 7, including a back-to-back home-and-home sweep of the first place Vegas Golden Knights.
According to our sister blog Jewels from the Crown, a big part of their recent success is the return from injury of our old friend Jeff Carter.
Speaking of returns, Captain Nick Foligno was activated yesterday and will be playing tonight.
