The Columbus Blue Jackets, riding a four-game winning streak, welcome the Philadelphia Flyers to Nationwide Arena for a crucial Metropolitan Division matchup on Tuesday night.
The Blue Jackets have found their offensive rhythm, averaging 4.1 goals per game over their last ten contests while climbing to fourth place in the division standings.
Philadelphia enters this contest following a commanding 6-0 victory over Anaheim, but faces the challenge of playing their third game in four nights.
Recent history between these teams has favored the Flyers, who hold a 6-3-1 edge in their last ten meetings and have claimed both matchups this season, including a 5-4 overtime thriller in December.
Columbus's high-scoring offense, ranked fifth in the NHL with 3.40 goals per game, will test Philadelphia's defensive unit, which has struggled this season allowing 3.47 goals per contest.
With both teams fighting to gain ground in the competitive Metropolitan Division playoff race, this matchup promises to deliver an intense battle between two teams heading in different directions.
