The Columbus Blue Jackets face the Buffalo Sabres with both teams heading in opposite directions this season. The Blue Jackets have a 19-35-6 record which is the worst in the Eastern Conference. The Sabres have a 31-23-4 record and with three consecutive wins have leaped into the middle of the wild card race in the Eastern Conference. Both teams look to improve in the conference and the upcoming game looks to be a good one as a result.
The Blue Jackets are having a season to forget with their offense struggling and scoring 2.55 goals per game with only 10 goals in the last four games. Johnny Gaudreau, Boone Jenner, and Patrik Laine have scored 50 goals and 76 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only six active skaters have seven goals or more and opponents can eliminate the hapless offense as a result.
The offense has let the Blue Jackets down but the defense has also struggled, allowing 3.68 goals per game. Andrew Peeke and Erik Gudbranson have combined for 3.1 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. The one bright spot has been the play of goaltender Joonas Korpisalo who has a .911 save percentage and a 3.17 goals-against average on 926 shots with 5.6 goals saved above average.
