Tonight, the Los Angeles Kings make their only trip to Nationwide Arena this season. The Kings come into the game unbeaten in regulation, much like Tampa Bay on Thursday. The Kings play a very stout defensive game, giving up under two goals per game, and the Blue Jackets will need to be better at breaking down the defense than they were on Thursday.
To that end, Boone Jenner is expected to make his season debut after recovering from an offseason back injury. Jenner is expected to slot in next to Nick Foligno and Oliver Bjorkstrand, which should free up space for the winger.
Go Jackets!
