Columbus at Anaheim

This is a long road trip for Columbus out to the West Coast. This is the end of a four-game trek, losing the last two games at the Kings (3-2) and Ducks (3-1). Columbus is struggling again on offense at #26 in goals scored. The Blue Jackets are on a 4-9 run on the road, plus 26-70 away against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Anaheim is strong defensively, ranking sixth in goals allowed. The Ducks got off to a weak start because of a brutal schedule, opening the season with five straight road games, but they are home from that and have won three of four. Anaheim is coming off a dominant 6-1 triumph over Nashville on Wednesday that extended its point streak to four games (3-0-1). The Ducks are on a 15-7 run at home, plus 36-17 in the third game of a three-in-four situation. Play Anaheim.
