After shutting out the Dallas Stars, Blue Jackets goalie Jet Greaves will stay in net against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Jan. 24 at Nationwide Arena.

That means the Blue Jackets (23-20-7) will ice the same lineup against the Lightning (32-13-4), who are 14-0-1 in their past 15 games after edging the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 in a shootout to start a road back-to-back set Jan. 23 at United Center.

Jonas Johansson (10-6-1) is expected to start for the Lightning, who didn’t hold a morning skate at Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets, who didn’t practice Jan. 23, held a full skate at the Ice Haus rink. Prior to the opening face-off, another group of four Blue Jackets alumni will be honored in the fourth of five 25th Anniversary Night celebrations.

Forwards Cam Atkinson, Derek Dorsett and R.J. Umberger will join former goalie Pascal Leclaire for a luncheon with season-ticket holders before signing autographs at 6 p.m. on the main concourse. They’ll also be honored prior to the game with a ceremonial puck drop.

Here are the projected lineups for the Blue Jackets and Lightning:
