Player to Watch
Alex DeBrincat
One thing the acclaimed Yzerplan was missing was an elite forward, and that problem may have been solved with the off-season trade for DeBrincat. He got off to a red-hot start with 9 goals in the first 7 games. Now, through 14 games, he sits at…(checks notes) oh, still 9 goals? He has just one assist in the last 7 games. He’s still a threat that the Columbus defense will need to keep an eye on.
Jackets Notes
Patrik Laine was a full participant in practice on Friday, so could make his return to the lineup either today or tomorrow … Kent Johnson scored two goals last night in a 4-2 Cleveland Monsters victory. Stanislav Svozil also scored his first pro goal … Adam Fantilli returned to the University of Michigan to watch their home game last night.
The Other Bench
In an outcome familiar to Jackets fans, the Red Wings erased two deficits at home against Montreal, only to lose in overtime.
