The Blue Jackets are looking to take a commanding lead in this game here.

The Blue Jackets are playing some great hockey and are definitely playing at the top level they have seen all season. However, the Blue Jackets are going to have to continue to play at a very high level defensively if they would like to lock down a win here as the Bruins offense has been pressing the Blue Jackets defense harder and harder each game, but the Jackets have yet to crack and will not do it in this game. Final Score, Columbus Blue Jackets win 3-2.
