The Columbus Blue Jackets and Tampa Bay Lightning squared off in a memorable series last April in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
They will get to rekindle old times Monday when the Blue Jackets host the Lightning in Ohio's capital. It will be the first of three meetings this season between the teams, who put on a heated battle in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal clash last spring.
The eighth-seeded Blue Jackets, who had never won a playoff series in the history of their franchise, stunned the hockey world with a four-game sweep of the Presidents' Trophy-winning Lightning.
