Anaheim has to play 2 road games back to back, which typically means the backup goalie will start this game. However, early on in the year the Ducks may want to get Gibson quite a few reps to get him comfortable playing. What is impressive is the fact that the Ducks offense has ended up playing decent offensively to go along with the defense that has been shutting down the opponents offense to only a goal per game on the year.
The Ducks have not really had to rely on any single player to lead the team in goal scoring either. Derek Grant has been able to score a goal on the year. Hampus Lindholm has ended up getting the team lead in points and all 3 of this points have come off of assist this year.

The Blue Jackets have been shaky this year and a lot of it stems from the defensive side of the puck. The Blue Jackets had to get adjusted to the fact that they do not have Sergei Bobrovsky back in the net to correct the mistakes they make. However, it also comes from the fact that the team is still getting used to the way that Jonas is going to run the net and that can take some time.
With the Blue Jackets their offense has relied on the goal scoring of Cam Atkinson, like last season. The difference is Atkinson has been able to hit a total of 2 goals on the year. Nick Foligno is the player who leads the Blue Jackets in the overall points total with 3 but has picked up a pair of assist on the year.

The Blue Jackets are a team that has had a lot of struggles and a lot of it is the defensive shortcomings of the team. The Ducks, though, are coming in and have to play in back to back games and that will definitely take a toll on the Ducks who have to face the Penguins the night before. Look for the Blue Jackets to have a well rested team that takes advantage of the tired Ducks team. Final Score, Columbus Blue Jackets win 3-2.
