Wow, if the Blue Jackets would have known Rick Bowness would make such a difference behind the bench, maybe they would have hired him away from the TNT studios a bit sooner! The "Bowness Bounce" is real in Columbus as the Jackets have win six straight and nine of ten since Bowness took over, the latest a 3-0 blanking of the Devils last night behind Elvis Merzlikins in goal, plus two Mathieu Olivier goals. Tonight it will be Jet Greaves between the posts at Nationwide, and all he's done lately is win in five of his last six starts. Meanwhile the Hawks are off of a 6-3 win over San Jose on Monday but had dropped five straight prior. Play Blue Jackets on ML

Don't love that red-hot Columbus is in the second of a back-to-back, but its superior goalie is in tonight in Jet Greaves, who is unbeaten in six appearances (one in relief). Not like he played Tuesday at New Jersey. And top-line forward Kirll Marchenko (46 points) is expected to play after missing Tuesday with an illness.
