Columbus is very live here to pull a major upset. The Blue Jackets catch the Bruins returning home after a successful 4-2 road trip. Boston hasn't been home since Feb. 9. The Bruins aren't a good home team either. They have the third-worst home mark in the NHL at 12-14-3.

The Bruins come in to Boston fat and happy following a 7-3 victory against Dallas this past Saturday. It's easy for the Bruins to overlook the Blue Jackets. Columbus, though, won't lack incentive. Fiery Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella was not pleased with Columbus' last game, a 4-0 loss to Buffalo this past Friday.

The Blue Jackets also have double revenge motivation. Each of Columbus' losses to Boston this season occurred in overtime.
