Columbus Blue Jackets (28-22-8, 4th Metro, WC2) HC: Dean Evason Top Performers: Zach Werenski (18-44-62 +11), Kirill Marchenko (23-36-59 +33), Sean Monahan (41 GP, 14-27-41 +17), Dmitri Voronkov (19-20-39 +17), Kent Johnson (19-20-39 –1), Adam Fantilli (17-18-35 –2), Cole Sillinger (9-20-29 –15), Ivan Provorov (7-20-27 +8), Damon Severson (6-17-23 +6)
CBJ Outlook: 11 goals for in the last two games over CHI and DAL. 5-4-1 in the last 10. Here is the next 10 games. Schedule is going to be tough after this back-to-back with DET. It’s TB, VGK. Then two matchups each with FLA, NYR, NJ all through 3-20-25.
Detroit Red Wings (30-22-6, 4th, Atlantic, WC1) HC: Todd McLellan Top Performers: Lucas Raymond (22-41-63 –4), Dylan Larkin (24-29-53 –3), Alex DeBrincat (26-24-50 –12), Patrick Kane (48 GP, 14-21-35 –12), Moritz Seider (5-30-35 –2), Vladimir Tarasenko (8-16-24 –7), Simon Edvinsson (7-16-23 +12), Marco Kasper (10-13-23 –7), J.T. Compher (6-17-23 +1),
DET Outlook: 8-1-1 in the last 10. The last couple of games have been crazy with blown leads or comebacks, but still took 5 of 6 points off of three games in four nights. MIN x2 ANA. Andrew Copp is done for the season. Michael Rasmussen is day-to-day after the head to the head by Zegras who was suspended. If DET splits with CBJ, that would suffice. Both squads DET has the most difficult, and CBJ will be going through it as far strength of schedule.
Goaltending Matchup: Elvis Merzlikins (21-14-4, 2.96 GAA, .895 SV, 1 SO); Daniil Tarasov (5-7-2, 3.69 GAA, .876 SV, 1 SO) vs. Cam Talbot (17-11-3, 2.85 GAA, .905 SV, 2 SO); Alex Lyon (11-6-1, 2.74 GAA, .902 SV, 1 SO)
