The Blue Jackets return home seeking a sixth consecutive victory after defeating the Red Wings 4-1, improving to 16-5-4 with goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky delivering a stellar performance. The Islanders arrive with momentum from a 5-0-1 stretch in their last six games, including a recent win over the Blues, marking the first meeting between these Metropolitan Division foes this season. Captain Nick Foligno's status for tonight is unknown due to illness.

What's your read, folks?
I don't see the point of previewing Blue Jackets games here. We've got some actual offseason stuff that's been happening, like the Kings hiring Laviolette and adding some veteran depth. Hasn't anyone thought about how those signings will change their playoff chances next year?
