Columbus at Florida

This is a tough situational spot for Columbus, in the middle of a three-game road trek. It's also the second of a back-to-back road spot after a 4-2 loss at Carolina last night. Captain Nick Foligno (10 goals, 10 assists) missed his second straight game on Friday as he remained in Boston on a family matter. Columbus is #19 in the NHL in goals allowed and has given up 14 goals the last four games. The Blue Jackets are 1-5 when playing on no days of rest and face a rested Florida squad that has won six of eight. Florida is #10 in the league in goals scored, and second on the power play. The home team is 8-2 when these teams clash, so back the rested home team playing well and play on Florida.
