COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Devils will have the last visit to Nationwide Arena in their minds when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets Saturday night. In that game back on Feb. 25, they were routed by the Blue Jackets, 6-1.
But this may be a vastly different Blue Jackets squad they will face. Coach John Tortorella's club has been held to one goal or less in six of its last 12 games. They've been shut out in three of those 12 games and have dropped three in a row at home.
The Devils, who have won three of their last five on the road, will find out whether right winger Kyle Palmieri is able to play.
