COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Columbus Blue Jackets will be looking for their seventh consecutive victory to stay firmly in the race for an Eastern Conference playoff berth when the play host to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night at Nationwide Arena.
The Blue Jackets (38-28-5) enter the third and final meeting of the season with the Senators tied for third place with the Philadelphia Flyers in the Metropolitan Division. But they are just one point ahead of the New Jersey Devils for the first wild card and four in front of the surging Florida Panthers.
