Columbus Outlook 

The Blue Jackets are coming off a 4-1 defeat last night at the hands of the LA Kings. In the second period LA was able to score four goals in a row and that was basically the game. Columbus got one goal back in the third period, but that was it. Columbus has gone 3-5-2 in their last 10 games and they are currently holding down last place in the league, which would result in first position in the upcoming draft lottery.

Columbus averages 2.61 goals per game and they give up 3.76 against. They have been 18.1% efficient on the power play and 76.7% efficient on the penalty kill.
