Ottawa at Columbus

Winless Columbus can't get it going, even at home. Everything has been a problem, ranked #21 in goals scored, #29 in goals allowed and #26 in penalty killing. The Blue Jackets traditionally have been slow starters, as they dropped 12 of their first 16 games in the 2012-13 season before losing seven of 12 the following campaign and seven of 11 in 2014-15. The Blue Jackets are 3-7 in the fourth game of a four-in-six situation, plus 9-26 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Into town comes an Ottawa team with a winning record, including a perfect 2-0 road mark. Ottawa scored eight goals in its first two games before falling 3-1 to Montreal in Sunday's home opener. The Senators are on a 14-5 run on the road and 25-11 overall. And when these teams meet the road team is 5-1. Play Ottawa.
