The Columbus Blue Jackets played like garbage, struggled for long stretches of the game, and somehow eked out two points after defeating the Winnipeg Jets in overtime behind a Josh Anderson game winning goal last night. Tonight, the team goes on the road to take on the Central Division leading St. Louis Blues, a team that has opened the season completely on fire.
Torts may juggle lines, do something crazy with the lineup - we won’t know until this afternoon as he looks for a spark to get the forward lines going. We can expect Joonas Korpisalo to start the second half of the back to back tonight to give Sergei Bobrovsky some rest.
Go Jackets.
