Florida at Columbus

The Columbus Blue Jackets are 20 games below the .500 mark on the season, and their season has been over for quite some time. There is two ways that can go, one is players quitting, or another path is players fighting for pride, and their job security for next season. Columbus is showing the latter and a resolve to keep playing hard. While they are 20 games below .500 for the season, they are an even up 7-7 in their last 14, including 4-3 on home ice. Florida has erased all the benefits of a five-game winning streak by following it up with their current 1-4 run over their last five games, and are just 2-5 in their last seven on the road. This is a team that has not played well in the second of consecutive nights at a woeful 34-70 in their last 104. They have also followed an overtime game with a 6-21-1 mark if the overtime game was last night. Play on Columbus.
