This nationally televised game will be a big one for both teams in the race for the playoffs. The Red Wings find themselves seven points out of the final wild-card spot as the Columbus Blue Jackets have 69 points and a game in hand on the Wings. The Blues are just two points behind the Anaheim Ducks in the Western Conference for the last wild-card spot.
In the first meeting of the season at Little Caesars Arena, the Blues cruised to a 6-1 win over the Red Wings.
Recently, it has not been a good stretch of games for the Blues.
