The Blue Jackets have burned me a few times of late, including in a very tough second of a back-to-back as they will be Tuesday after a challenging home game Monday vs. Montreal. Winnipeg is on normal rest and back at home for the first time since Nov. 1. Teams always put extra importance on the first game of a homestand. Connor Hellebuyck was nearly invincible on home ice last season. Not quite as good this year but still a 2.52 GAA and .918 SV there. Winnipeg has also gotten pretty healthy lately. Jackets scheduled goalie Elvis Merzlikins, meanwhile, has a 3.18 GAA away.
