Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Calgary Flames Preview
Calgary visited Nationwide Arena way back on October 20th, with the Jackets winning 3-1. As time was running out, Patrik Laine was targeted by the Flames Rasmus Andersson with a nasty hit. A hit that took Laine out for a few weeks with a concussion. Erik Gudbranson came flying in and jumped on Andersson. The game ended in chaos.
Now the Jackets are in Calgary and will try to win the season series. Rasmus Andersson will be playing for Calgary and has 8 points in his last 10 games. And in a strange bit of fate, Patrik Laine is on IR again and won't play against the Flames to try for payback. But will Erik Gudbranson remember?
The Flames come into this game 5-5 in their last 10 games and losers of three straight. The Jackets have lost two straight and are 3-5-2 in their last 10.
The Flames currently sit 6th in the Pacific Division, 12th in the West, and 24th in the NHL.
