Martin vs. Oettinger
The Jackets have released the expected line combinations for tonight.
David Jiricek will be a healthy scratch again tonight, as Andrew Peeke gets another shot on the blue line. Emil Bemstrom will also sit tonight as a scratch.
Spencer Martin will get a start tonight. Martin is coming off of a dazzling performance against the Panthers. He came into the game to relieve Elvis Merzlikins and kept the Jackets within reach. He has definitely earned this start after Monday night.
The Stars are getting Matt Duchene back, who missed a few games. And Vezina hopeful Jake Oettinger will get the start for Dallas. Dallas is looking to sweep the season series versus the Jackets. Dallas bested the CBJ on October 30th in Dallas.
How to Watch & Listen: Tonight's game will be on ESPN+ and Hulu with John Buccigross and Ryan Callahan. The radio broadcast will be on 97.1 The Fan with Bob McElligott behind the mic doing the play-by-play.
