Columbus Lines, Defensive Pairings, & Scratches For Tonight's Game vs. Buffalo
The Columbus Blue Jackets will play just their second home game in February tonight but will play three of the next four at home.
Columbus comes in after winning a wild and crazy affair in Anaheim on Wednesday night. They went up 4-0 nothing on the Ducks, only to see that lead evaporate in the second period, as the Ducks would pull even at the end of two. The CBJ would then put up three goals in the third to finish off the Ducks and would end the California trip having taken 4 of a possible 6 points.
