The Columbus Blue Jackets get a crack at one of the Western Conference’s best teams in the St. Louis Blues on Friday night, February 6th at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
The St. Louis Blues (33-13-4) are surging, and currently sit in second place in the Western Conference Central Division and have the third highest point total in the entire Western Conference. The Blues are 9-0-1 in their last 10 games and are riding a six-game win streak.
The Blue Jackets are welcoming back players from injury that contributed to their abnormally poor season. Artem Anisimov returned to the ice last Thursday and two days later, Ryan Murray returned after missing 36 consecutive games due to a knee injury.
Murray is getting comfortable with his leg and the muscles around the knee becoming stronger and stronger as his ice time accumulates. It is better late than never that the Blue Jackets’ preseason projected lineup is finally sharing the ice together. Building momentum at the end of the 2014-15 season will be great building block as the Blue Jackets look to rebound next season.
The St. Louis Blues coming into Nationwide Arena is a great litmus test for a Blue Jackets team that may be in its most competitive form.
