    The Wrap Around Show

    The Columbus Blue Jackets and Ottawa Senators play each other for the second time this season. Today's game will be the first leg of a back-to-back home-and-home situation for the two teams. 

    The Blue Jackets were beaten by the Sens last Saturday, so the Jackets will be looking for a little revenge. The next two games will be against Ottawa, so expect some fireworks between now and Tuesday. 

    The Senators have won two straight, while the fading Jackets have lost two straight, so this game could be a crap shoot for either one of them. The Sens will be running out Linus Ullmark against the CBJ most likely, after Anton Forsberg won on Saturday.
