Happy St. Patrick’s Day hockey world!
The Blue Jackets or should I say the Green Jackets are on the ice for a 6pm starting with green beer and the Winnipeg Jets on the second half of their back to back.
Winnipeg is pushing to stay strong in the playoff rounds, including adding former Devils Tyler Toffoli and Colin Miller. They also got Sean Monahan before the deadline. The question is while injured players like Gabe Valardi cost them early in the quest.
Columbus is looking to snap their three game losing skid. They are fully in on the holiday spirit and are looking to get healthy. After losing Kuraly, Chinakov, and Danforth recently to injury, we have seen the Monsters’ depth return to the main roster.
Expect a Comrie v Merzlikins battle in the crease.
