One thing is sure: there will be a hockey game played in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. If the Jackets can manage two points to clinch a playoff spot is up for grabs. Alexander Wennberg is being held out of the game as a precaution, after taking a nasty (and uncalled) cross-check from Ryan Strome yesterday. Karlsson will move up to his spot, and Lukas Sedlak will draw back in to make his first appearance after coming off injured reserve. Defensive lines will stay the same.
CBJ: 46-18-6 (98 pts. - 2nd in Metro)
NJD: 26-32-12 (64 pts. - 8th in Metro)
Season Series:
2/4 - L (1-5)
