Columbus Lines, Defensive Pairings, & Scratches For Tonight's Game vs. Seattle
Columbus moved to 1-1-1 after game three of a five-game road trip. They devastatingly lost last night after they were up 4-1 going into the third. The Jackets played really well for two periods, but as we all know, there are three periods in a hockey game. That fact seems to be missed this season for Columbus.
