The Blue Jackets are playing in back to back games, but they do not have to travel far for the games. The game on Friday night was in Columbus and it was against a team the Blue Jackets are familiar with in the Hurricanes. However, the Hurricanes are not a team that usually wears the Blue Jackets out to much so that could help them out coming into face the Red Wings.

Seth Jones is the player who has managed to lead the Blue Jackets for points on the season. Jones, while he does not lead in goals or assist, has taken over the team lead by getting 12 points on the year and is coming into the game sitting on a +8 margin.


For the Red Wings they have Friday off, but that may not help them out that much as they have to figure out what exactly went wrong in the game against the Flames. In the game against the Flames the Red Wings allowed a total of 6 goals to be scored and looked a little bit on the flat side even though they did not even play in back to back games.

The Red Wings are led by Dylan Larkin still on the year when it comes to scoring. Larkin has managed to get a total of 14 points on the year with 12 of those points coming in the form of assist so far.
