Conclusion

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild will put on an insanely entertaining game tonight, so you’ll want to be sure to catch it if you can. Once Minnesota gets healthy, they’ll surely be an even more difficult team to face. The next time these two teams will face off will be on January 30 in Columbus, when both teams will hopefully be healthy enough for us to see who truly is the better team.

With the entire Metro Division set to play tonight, the Blue Jackets won’t be able to make the jump to first in the division unless they win and both Washington and New Jersey fall to the Flyers and Rangers, respectively.

Tonight’s game will start at 8 p.m. ET, and will be available to watch on Fox Sports Ohio, Fox Sports North and NHL TV. The Blue Jackets next game following tonight’s will be in Winnipeg on Tuesday night.
