As Werenski noted, it’s also important to keep pace in the standings as the Blue Jackets push to end a four-season playoff drought. Columbus has lost three games in a row after Thursday night’s 3-2 overtime loss against Utah, moving the Blue Jackets to a point behind Detroit for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Columbus has played just one game at home since January 17th, so the Blue Jackets will look to get home in front of their amazing fans. The Jackets are tied for second for most home goals with 101 and are scoring 4.04 goals per game inside NWA. The 4.04 goals they're scoring per game is #1 in the NHL.
