Columbus Lines, Defensive Pairings, & Scratches For Today's Game vs. Vancouver
The Blue Jackets are 1-1 so far on this 5-game roadie. The Jackets recently beat the Canucks in a shootout at home on January 15th, and look to replicate that effort tonight. In the first two games on this trip, we witnessed some outstanding play by the Jackets, but it will take a full 60 minutes to beat Vancouver tonight.
