The Blues have a team-record thirteen game point streak going while the Jackets have lost three in a row.
There was a lot being said about the Blue Jackets getting healthy and maybe plodding their way back into playoff position before the end of this season. I'm not sure that's going to happen. They've lost three games in a row, and they look flat and listless.
The Blues, however, have 25 of 26 possible points in their last 13 games. They may not be who Columbus would like to see at this moment. The Blue Jackets, however, are just who the Blues need to play. They finally fought their way into a tie with the Predators for first place in the Central Division. A win tonight puts them in sole possession.
Brian Elliott gets the nod tonight. Check back in a little while for another CCR preview and your GDT. While you're waiting head over to The Cannon and say hi to JD and Jarmo's newest fans.
