The Blue Jackets are playing their fourth preseason game in four days, and are sending a decent contingent tonight to Raleigh, where the Hurricanes are making their preseason debut. There will be big names a-plenty tonight for both squads, as the Jackets are sending Ryan Johansen, Brandon Dubinsky, Nick Foligno, Marian Gaborik, Jack Johnson, Fedor Tyutin, Tim Erixon, and Nikita Nikitin.
Carolina will be icing Eric Staal, Alexander Semin, Jeff Skinner, Cam Ward, Tim Gleason, and top draft pick Elias Lindholm.
The game is not on TV or radio, but the Blue Jackets’ website is attempting a radio stream via their game-day blog.
