Little Caesars Arena – Detroit, Michigan
TV: FDSNOH; Radio: 97.1 FM
Columbus Blue Jackets (38-27-12, 88 points, 5th Metro, 11th East)
at
Detroit Red Wings (40-29-8, 88 points, 6th Atlantic, 10th East)
If you’re feeling bad about the recent Jackets’ swoon (1-6-1 in the last 8) – and you should – well at least we have company in our misery with our neighbors to the north, who are in a 2-6-0 skid of their own.
Missing the playoffs would be even more of a disaster for the Red Wings, who now have the longest active playoff drought in the league, with the Sabres finally qualifying over the weekend.
Rick Bowness promised all new forward lines for this game. Oh boy!
