Columbus Blue Jackets Clash with Edmonton Oilers: Can Underdogs Upset the Points Leaders?
The Columbus Blue Jackets are at home tonight to face the Edmonton Oilers at Nationwide Arena.
The Blue Jackets will have one thing on their mind tonight – Revenge. The good news for Columbus is that they have played Edmonton very tough at home in their history, going 18-13-3-1 inside the friendly confines of Nationwide Arena. The other good news is that Edmonton played last night in Philadelphia and had to go to overtime, so hopefully they’re nice and worn out.
The bad news? The Jackets lost their Captain, Boone Jenner, to an upper-body injury against Seattle on Tuesday night, and his status is uncertain. The fact that the PR team announced that he wouldn’t return just a few minutes after he left the game is not a good sign. The Cleveland Monsters also called up forward Chongmin Lee from the ECHL’s Bloomington Bison on Wednesday night, which means the CBJ might call up an extra forward before tonight’s game.
