Week Two: February 11th-17th

Columbus Blue Jackets

After a three game road trip, the Jackets are rewarded with a home game against their division rivals, the Washington Capitals. The Capitals have a peculiar schedule at the end of January and through February.

The game in Columbus will be the start of a massive six game road trip for the Caps. The road trip comes after six straight games at home. Odd to have that amount of time at home followed up by the same amount on the road.

The Jackets stay in central Ohio for a few nights as they host the Islanders on Thursday the 14th. No matter how much she says she loves hockey guys, just take her out to dinner on Valentines Day and avoid this boring game.

The week finishes up with a short trip to Chicago to take on the Blackhawks. At this point in the season the Hawks will be fighting desperately to stay relevant in the wild card discussion. This could turn out to be a difficult game for the Jackets on Saturday night.

Week Two Predictions: 1-1-1
