The Boston Bruins, with their high-powered offense, head into Nationwide Arena to face a Columbus Blue Jackets team that's been stingy on its home ice.

The Bruins have been led by David Pastrnak's 99 points (29 G, 70 A), and their power play has been a threat, with 55 goals on the season.
The Blue Jackets' offense, averaging just 3.01 goals per game, will need to find a way to capitalize on Boston's mistakes. Columbus's power play has struggled, converting just 19.2% of its chances. Injuries have impacted both teams, with the Bruins dealing with Dans Locmelis (OUT) and the Blue Jackets without Dmitri Voronkov (OUT).
