At the NHL level, the Columbus Blue Jackets have a busy week ahead of them with three games in five days before a four day break. This starts on Tuesday at Nationwide Arena against the Colorado Avalanche who have been surging with Hart Trophy nominee Nathan MacKinnon.
On Tuesday, the Blue Jackets travel to Florida to take on the Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning in what should be a fairly difficult road trip. Both teams are off to a decent start, with Florida have one of two possible points and Tampa having both of the points they could’ve possibly won.
