The Columbus Blue Jackets kick off March Madness with a road game against the Chicago Blackhawks in their second and final meeting of the season. Puckdrop is at 8pm.
The Blackhawks and Blue Jackets sit at the bottom of the conference standings, where the Hawks are last in the league. Chicago is looking to get their second straight first overall pick in the 2024 Draft.
They are locking veterans up for big money short term deals including former captain Nick Foligno.
Both terms are selling. Columbus is off back to back losses, yet Alex Nyalnder got hit first points with the crew. Wins are a must before more selling off continues. 6 days til deadline.
