The Canes look to bounce back in their first game of the year against the Blue Jackets.
What - Game 20 (14-5-0)
When - 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 23
Where - Nationwide Arena; Columbus, OH
How to Watch - FanDuel Sports Network South, FanDuel Sports Network Ohio
The Carolina Hurricanes head to Ohio to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets (8-9-2) in another Metro division showdown.
After losing 4-2 to the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, the Canes are now 6-1-0 against the division, but that's still pretty good.
The Hurricanes have long dominated the Blue Jackets, with multiple comeback wins in the last couple of seasons too.
However, the Blue Jackets are starting to string together a few wins, most recently a 7-6 overtime victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, a game in which defenseman Zach Werenski had five points including the OT winner.
Columbus has found a bit of scoring, ranking 10th in the league with 3.42 goals per game, however it's still a mess defensively/in goal as the Blue Jackets have allowed the third most goals per game in the entire league (3.58).
Perhaps we'll be treated to another high-scoring contest tonight.
