STORYLINES
- Power Play Consistency - The Columbus Blue Jackets have been on fire with their man advantage the past few games, going 7/15 over their last four contests, where they won 3/4 in the process. To keep themselves afloat in a tough Metropolitan Division, their power play will need to keep clicking.
- Playing Down to Competition - Columbus has had an incredibly difficult schedule to start the season, and has played nearly all of these games closely. However, their first “lowly” test of the season against the Detroit Red Wings last week came down to the wire. The Blue Jackets need to put the Senators away early tonight to start this home stand off well.
- Korpisalo No. 1? - Joonas Korpisalo will likely be back in net tonight, after a shaky performance from Elvis Merzlikins against the Winnipeg Jets. Korpisalo has a chance to further his case as the No. 1 goaltender with a solid performance tonight.
