One way or another, one of my teams is going to lose tonight. :(

Notes and projected lineup per bluejackets.com:
Of Note
Elvis Merzlikins owns the NHL lead with five shutouts.. … Markus Nutivaara has as 1-3-4 line in the past five contests. … Zach Werenski leads all NHL defensemen with a CBJ-record 18 goals from the blue line this season. ... Columbus has not taken a penalty in six of 62 games this year. … The Blue Jackets have lost 345 man games to injury. ... Twelve of the last 13 games for Columbus have been one-goal games, excluding empty-net goals. … Starting with the game against the Preds, seven of the next eight for Columbus will be against Western Conference teams. … The Blue Jackets swept the season series a year ago, with a 5-2 win in Nashville ending a five-game losing skid in Tennessee. Columbus is just 9-29-1-5 all-time in the road in the series.
Projected Lineup
(Subject to change)

Gustav Nyquist - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Nick Foligno
Stefan Matteau - Boone Jenner - Emil Bemstrom
Nathan Gerbe - Kevin Stenlund - Calvin Thurkauf
Eric Robinson - Riley Nash - Jakob Lilja

Zach Werenski - Markus Nutivaara
Vladislav Gavrikov - David Savard
Scott Harrington - Andrew Peeke

Elvis Merzlikins
Matiss Kivlenieks

Scratches: Sonny Milano, Oliver Bjorkstrand (injury), Joonas Korpisalo (injury)

Roster Report: Tortorella will speak to the media pregame to go over the lineup. Gerbe did not practice Friday but did travel with the team to Nashville so he could be in the lineup, while Thurkauf staged his first practice with the team after his emergency recall Friday.

Surprised we haven't had a "John Smith" in our lineup at this point. It's hard to feel good about this after Bjork goes down. Just too many names on this roster we would not have expected to even see during the course of the season.

Can we score negative goals? Because unless Werenski banks a shot off 5 guys or PLD trucks over 5 guys I don't see us scoring.

After Jones injury, bank account +6000€ for betting against CBJ. We suck and it will change before our injured players get back. So AHL team away against NSH, cant see any chances here. f*** this feels bad after that amazing streak.
