The Columbus Blue Jackets must regroup from their most humiliating loss - a 9-1 setback at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings. The bigger issue that was emphasized in that one was the shoddy goaltending and lack of defense. After a 5-1 start, the Jackets have allowed an amazing 51 goals in their last 11 games, nearly five per contest. That will make the task at hand difficult against a Duck's team that has found the net 28 times in the last eight games, or averaging 3.5 per. The Blue Jackets have not rebounded well off a big loss as they are now 1-7 off a loss by three goals or more. Anaheim gets this one.
