The Columbus Blue Jackets are looking for their fifth-straight victory tonight as they host the Calgary Flames at Nationwide Arena.
This meeting between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Calgary Flames is the first of two between the clubs. It will be the only time that the Flames, and therefore Jaromir Jagr, comes to Columbus in the 2017-18 regular season.
Both teams are playing very well as of late. The Flames are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games, winning the last two. Their hot play has put them in third in the Pacific Division behind the Kings and Golden Knights.
As we all know, the Blue Jackets have been winning left and right recently. After having a rough five-game stretch that started a few weeks ago, the CBJ have turned things around in a big way. The team has won their last four games to put them in a tie for the top spot in the Metro Division. And most of that can be traced back to Sergei Bobrovsky‘s Vezina-level play.
Something’s going to have to give tonight as these two red-hot teams collide in Columbus.
