Columbus Blue Jackets News & Notes:

Columbus has lost three in a row and has been outscored 15-5 during that span. Columbus has the talent to score goals but will need to clean up their defensive zone going forward if they want to move up in the standings. On a positive note, Kent Johnson has resumed skating and is targeting a late November return to action.

Los Angeles Kings News & Notes:

The Kings lost their last game 4-2 to the Vancouver Canucks but also lost rugged LW Tanner Jeannot to a three-game suspension for an illegal head check to Canucks forward Brock Boeser. Jeannot will begin serving his suspension tonight when his teammates face the Columbus Blue Jackets.
