Columbus Blue Jackets News & Notes: 

After a stumbling start to the season, the Columbus Blue Jackets have started to play better. Winning 4 of the last five games, scoring 25 goals in those 5 games. But, can Columbus keep things going? They’re currently tied for 4th in the Metropolitian Division and in the second Wild Card position.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

St. Louis is currently 9 points behind the Colorado Avalanche in the Central Division standings and 2 points behind the Vancouver Canucks for a Wild Card spot. After tonight’s game, the Blues schedule gets much tougher, playing Calgary twice, Utah once, and Vegas twice to cap of the next 5 games.
