Nashville at Columbus

The Columbus Blue Jackets come home after winning three straight on the road, where they have been amazing this season, and are now winners of four straight. They have not had the same good fortune on home ice where they are a pedestrian 5-5 to start the season,and the goal differential on home ice sits at zero as well. Nashville has been highly competitive on the road where they have won two straight and three of their last four, entering this game having now gone 5-1 when they allow two goals or less in their previous contest. Columbus is the worst team in the league when it comes to playing three games in four nights as this situation presents them in tonight. They are 48-105-6 in their last 159 in a three in four situation. The Predators have owned the Jackets at 39-13-3 in the last 55 meetings. A Live dog in the house, Nashville gets the call.
