The Detroit Red Wings visit the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight for the first of three meetings between the two teams.
Columbus welcomes the Detroit Red Wings into Nationwide Arena tonight as the two rivals play each other for the first time this season.
The Jackets have lost the last three games against the Wings, and are going to want to stop that streak tonight. They get a Wings team that is very pedestrian on the road, while the Jackets are hot at home, winning their last four. So there's no better time than now to stop the streak.
Detroit comes into this game on a modest two-game winning streak themselves and has gone 5-5 in the last 10. The Red Wing rebuild is a hot topic up north, so being where they are in the standings is a touchy subject for Detroit fans.
The Wings have a good power play, ranked at 9th in the league, but the Jackets PK is clicking at 90% over the last 10 games, which is 3rd in the league over that time.
Detroit is currently 7th in the Atlantic, 14th in the East, and 27th in the league.
The Blue Jackets are 5th in the Metro, 10th in the East, and 21st in the league.
