Columbus is 27-36-3-3 all-time, and 9-23-0-2 on the road vs. Edmonton.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are on the road to face the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place.
The Edmonton Oilers are going to come into this game angry. The Oilers were absolutely demolished by the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday by a score of 9-1. They will be looking to let out some frustration and blow the doors off the Jackets. They come into the game 4-3-3 in their last 10 games and have lost three straight games, and they desperately need a win.
The Blue Jackets, on the other hand, have also lost three straight and sit at NHL .500 with a record of 7-7. Much like Edmonton, Columbus really needs to break out of this slide. The Jackets typically play tough in Edmonton; they just can't get the wins. All-time, they are 9-23-0-2 on the road inside Rogers Place. Yeah, not good.
Something positive needs to happen for the Dean Evason and the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight.
