The Columbus Blue Jackets conclude their final back to back series of the season with a road trip to Sweet Carolina against the Hurricanes. After last night’s victory in Philly, the hope is to get the forwards scoring the goals and not all just the defenders.
Masterton nominee Zach Werenski had three points on the six goals. The forwards got the helpers.
Carolina has loaded up since they last met, including the adds of Jake Guentzel from Pittsburgh and Evgney Kuznetsov from Washington.
