Who: Columbus Blue Jackets (37-26-3; 77 points, 5th place in Metropolitan Division) @ Pittsburgh Penguins (35-22-9; 79 points, 4th place in Metropolitan division)
When: 7:00 p.m. Eastern
How to Watch: AT&T Sportsnet in the Pittsburgh viewing area, NBC Sports nationally
Opponent Track: Since we last saw Columbus last Tuesday (a resounding 5-2 Pittsburgh win in Ohio), the Jackets, well, they haven’t exactly been convincing. They defeated Philly 4-3 in OT before having a nightmare-ish weekend losing two home games to Edmonton (4-0) and Winnipeg (5-2). Last game out they eked out a shootout win over New Jersey, in a game they badly needed to keep pace with teams like Pittsburgh and Carolina.
