The Wrap Around Show

The Columbus Blue Jackets are in Toronto tonight to play the Maple Leafs for the third and final time this season. The Jackets have beaten the Leafs in the previous two meetings.

The Blue Jackets stumble into Scotiabank Arena winners of just three of their last 10 games. The Maple Leafs, on the other hand, have won three straight, 7 of 10, and sit first in the Atlantic. They still have a lot to play for, seeing as they haven't wrapped up the Atlantic title yet.

So, expect the Leafs to come out and take out some frustration on the CBJ.
