Fresh off three games on the road (1-1-1), the Blue Jackets return home for a pair and look to continue what has been one of the best starts in franchise history. Here is a quick look at the schedule upcoming this week.
Tonight: Predator or Prey?
The Nashville Predators, defending Western Conference champions, will be making the journey to Nationwide for a 7 p.m. game tonight. The Predators currently stand with a 7-5-2 record, and rank just 23rd in goals scored league-wide. They certainly believe they've fixed some of that problem by acquiring Kyle Turris in a mega deal this weekend; the Predators are unsure if Turris, who needs immigration clearance, will be available to play tonight in Columbus. FOX Sports Ohio will carry the television broadcast locally.
Friday: Rock You Like a Hurricane
The Blue Jackets will have two days "off" following Tuesday's game against the Predators before facing the Carolina Hurricanes for the second time this season. The Hurricanes come to town looking to avenge their 2-1 overtime loss at home on Oct. 10, the last time the two teams squared off. Puck drops at 7 p.m.,and you can watch it on FOX Sports Ohio.
Saturday: Motor City Mayhem
The Blue Jackets finish off this week with games on consecutive nights for the second time in six days. After the home tilt with the Hurricanes, the Blue Jackets head to Detroit to take on the Red Wings in their first-ever game at brand new Little Caesars Arena. It will be another 7 p.m. start, and can be seen once again on FOX Sports Ohio. All Blue Jackets local broadcasts are also available on the FS GO app.
