The Hurricanes are coming off of a 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning and remain at the top of the Eastern Conference because of it although the Buffalo Sabres are right on their heels.<\/p>\n
Columbus meanwhile is just outside of the current playoff picture and desperately need all the points they can get.<\/p>\n
They are 5-1-4 in their last 10 games and so this should be a good matchup between two clubs that are really playing well as of late.<\/p>\n
