Blue Jackets vs. Canadiens: Game Preview and Analysis

The Columbus Blue Jackets will be hosting the Montréal Canadiens in a game tonight. The Canadiens have been struggling, losing five out of their last six games and being outscored 15-3 in their current three-game losing streak. They will also be missing Kirby Dach due to a foot injury.

On the other hand, the Blue Jackets are coming off a shootout loss to the New York Rangers but have earned points in their last four games. Despite a tough Western Canada trip, they are just two points out of a wild card spot and two points out of third place in the Metro Division, currently sitting in 7th place with 20 points.

Columbus has been strong on the penalty kill, allowing only one power play goal in the last 10 games, running at 90.0% efficiency. However, their power play unit continues to struggle, ranking 30th in the NHL.
