The Last Devils Game
The last Devils game was a 3-2 shootout loss to Minnesota. Tomas Tatar had both goals for the Devils. I recapped that game here
The Last Blue Jackets Game
The last Blue Jackets game was a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Kuraly, Marchenko, Johnson, and Jenner had the goals for Columbus. Goes to show that you don’t win every game against bad teams and not to go easy on them.
The Last Devils-Blue Jackets Game
The last time these two teams faced off was a 7-1 Devils victory on October 30. 7 different Devils scored. Graves, Marino, Siegenthaler, Wood, and Zetterlund were all part of that group.
How Are The Blue Jackets Doing?
Bad.
Well, if you want some Blue Jackets stats, Gaudreau leads the team with 50 points. Next is Laine with 31. Big drop. Korpisalo and Merzlikins have .907 and .871 save percentages.
Lines
Dailyfaceoff has Columbus’s lines as
Gaudreau-Jenner-Marchenko
Bemstrom-Sillinger-Johnson
Foudy-Roslovic-Laine
Robinson-Kuraly-Oliver
Gavrikov-Peeke
Berni-Gudbranson
Blankenburg-Boqvist
There’s potential for a Boqvist brothers matchup. Hopefully it goes better than the first one. If you remember that game, you’ll know both brothers were injured in the first couple minutes and did not return.
I can’t find any Devils practice lines from yesterday on twitter, so I assume their lines will be the same as the Minnesota game.
