Foligno is returning to the lineup and kicking Adam Beckman off the second line and out of the lineup entirely. Plus, Jon Merrill is sick and Jonas Brodin is suffering from an injury that could force him to miss some significant time. No timeline yet but reports aren’t looking like this will be something where he misses just a couple games.

The Blue Jackets have a couple decent forwards and some youngsters that can really put on a show, but that is some terrible blue line they have. We were actually a little concerned that they can get a couple goals in this game but with no one to really pass the puck up the ice, that might be a big ask.
