Columbus Blue Jackets (64 pts) vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (93 pts) Game Preview
Per the usual, the Jackets will play another team on a bit of a hot streak, because why not?
Even though the Bolts lost their last game, they're 7-2-1 in their last 10 and have gone 11-4 since March 1st. And even with all that winning, that's still only good enough for 4th in the Atlantic division. But as we all know, the Lightning know how to turn it on when the playoffs start. If the playoffs started today, they would draw the Boston Bruins, and that would be a heck of a series. Tampa has Nikita Kucherov with his 136 points and Andrei Vasilevskiy in goal, so anything can happen.
The Lightning currently sit 4th in the Atlantic, 6th in the East, and 12th in the NHL. They're also currently occupying the 1st wildcard spot.
