The Blue Jackets hit the ice against the Canadiens at 7:30. The lineup will include all of the same names as Tuesday’s lineup, except for one Marian Gaborik, who’s out with the flu. Boone Jenner gets bumped up to the top line, and Sean Collins takes Boone’s spot. In addition, Artem Anisimov moves to the wing on line 2, and Blake Comeau moves to the wing on line 3. Mark Letestu will center that line.
The Jackets have their work cut out for them, as Carey Price has been hot to start the year, and the Canadiens have won four of five, including three in a row, including a shutout in Winnipeg their last time out on Tuesday. Pucks to the net, traffic, rebounds, profit.
