TV: Bally Sports Ohio; Radio: 97.1 FM

Columbus Blue Jackets (17-27-10, 44 points, 8th Metro, 16th East)
at
Anaheim Ducks (20-33-2, 42 points, 7th Pacific, 14th East)
Regardless what the schedule says, neither team played last night, so should be rested for this one!
Player to Watch
Leo Carlsson
The plan to ease the Swedish rookie into the NHL deprived us of a Fantilli-Carlsson match-up in October, and unfortunately the injury to Fantilli spoils this meeting. Carlsson is 7th on the Ducks in points, and is tied for second among Ducks forwards in average ice time (18:14, like Frank Vatrano and Try Terry). Imagine playing your star rookie!
