The Blue Jackets will have a terrific opportunity to move up the standings on Monday night, as they host the LA Kings at Nationwide Arena. That is, if the game doesn't get postponed due to the weather emergency in Central Ohio.
The Jackets won their second straight on Saturday night, out-gunning the Tampa Bay Lightning en-route to an 8-5 final score. Mason Marchment continued his stellar play with a hat-trick (and an assist), while Adam Fantilli and Charlie Coyle each scored three points.
Suddenly, this team finds themselves just four points out of third place in the Metropolitan Division.
