03/18/2009 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Columbus Blue Jackets will try to get back in the win column tonight when they welcome the struggling Chicago Blackhawks for a Central Division battle at Nationwide Arena.
The Blue Jackets, who are trying to make the playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2000-01, had won four consecutive games prior to getting shut out on Sunday by visiting Detroit.
Columbus is currently the sixth seed in the West with 78 points and is three points ahead of Edmonton and Nashville, which are currently tied for the conference's final two playoff seeds.
The Blue Jackets were overmatched by the Red Wings in their most recent outing. Chris Osgood posted his second shutout of the season by stopping all 23 shots as Detroit blanked Columbus, 4-0, at Nationwide Arena.
Steve Mason allowed four goals on 30 shots in the loss for the Blue Jackets.
Columbus had won three straight on home ice prior to Sunday's setback. The Blue Jackets are 22-11-2 as the host this year and will follow tonight's tilt with a two-game road trip to the Sunshine State. Columbus will visit the Florida Panthers on Saturday and face Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
The Blackhawks, meanwhile, have lost three straight, five of six and eight of their last 11 contests. Chicago had once had a seemingly comfortable lead for the fourth seed in the West, but is now tied with Vancouver for that spot with 83 points.
Chicago was in action Tuesday evening in New Jersey and witnessed history as Martin Brodeur became the NHL's all-time winningest netminder in the Devils' 3-2 win. Brodeur made 30 saves in the 552nd win of his illustrious career and passed Patrick Roy for the most victories in league history.
Cam Barker and Dustin Byfuglien found the net for the Blackhawks, while Nikolai Khabibulin allowed three goals on 30 shots in a losing cause.
Chicago is wrapping a two-game road trip tonight and will open a five-game homestand beginning with Friday's game against Edmonton. The Blackhawks are 19-14-3 as the visiting team this season.
The Blackhawks have won two of the three meetings with Columbus so far this year and has taken five of seven overall in the series. Chicago has also taken three of four at Nationwide Arena.
