Lenovo Center – Raleigh, North Carolina
TV: FDSNOH; Radio: 97.1 FM
Columbus Blue Jackets (38-25-12, 88 points, 4th Metro, 8th East)
at
Carolina Hurricanes (47-21-6, 100 points, 1st Metro, 1st East)
The Hurricanes can clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight.
The Blue Jackets may be without Mason Marchment and/or Isac Lundestrom. Zach Aston-Reese was called up just in case.
Meanwhile, in the out of town scoreboard, we’re keeping an eye on:
Sabres at Senators (Buffalo can clinch a playoff berth tonight as well, so Go Sabres for multiple reasons)
Penguins at Lightning (again, Bolts can clinch too)
Bruins at Panthers (Go Cats, but with Boston now 6 points ahead of us, I don’t think we’re catching WC1)
Red Wings at Flyers (just no overtime, please, but a Flyers win is probably better since we have the RW tiebreaker over them for now)
Just win, baby
