Columbus Lines, Defensive Pairings, & Scratches For Tonight's Game vs. Calgary
Tonight will be the second leg of a 5-game road trip, and the second in Alberta in three nights. Both teams come into this game on multiple-game losing streaks, so someone has to break free. Western Canada has never been kind to the Blue Jackets, but they've gone 14-14-4 all-time in Calgary, so to move above .500 all-time would be a huge feat for Columbus.

Johnny Gaudreau – Cole Sillinger – Yegor Chinakhov
