These teams are each so bad that there actually should be some defensive intensity to this matchup.

If you discount a five-goal game against Carolina then Columbus is averaging 1.7 goals during regulation in its last seven games.

Toronto has scored seven goals in its last five games if you discount the Maple Leafs' five-goal game versus Florida. Look for Blue Jackets' goalie Sergei Bobrovsky to rebound in a big way if he gets the start after he was benched during Columbus' last game.
