The Columbus Blue Jackets get the post deadline blues out of the way bright and early with a noon thirty start time against Gustav Nyquist and the Nashville Predators in their second and final meeting of the season.

Yesterday, we witnessed the departures of Andrew Peeke to Boston; Jack Roslovic to Broadway; and future considerations to St. Louis. We also saw the arrivals of former first round picks Jakub Zboril and Malcom Subban.

Nashville also bought, acquiring Jason Zucker, Anthony Beauviller, and Wade Allison.

Today is the kids takeover, which is way the game is oh so early. They will be taking over most parts of the telecast.

Columbus gets Tarasov in the crease. With the injury to Danforth yesterday, the Jackets are going with 11 forwards and 6 defenders. Jake Bean returns after his reset.
