"For the Blue Jackets, this season has been disappointing in that regard. The team is 8th in the Metropolitan Division with a 18-16-7 record. Interestingly, that's the same number of points the Sharks have, but the Eastern Conference is a tougher go of it this season, with all of the teams with a .500 points percentage or better. The same can't be said for the Western Conference, where the NHL's true bottom feeders reside."
"For the Blue Jackets, keep an eye on Zach Werenski. The defenseman leads the team with 44 points. He's also tied the team lead in goals with 15. Two other Blue Jackets players have 15 goals. They are Kirill Marchenko and Dimitri Voronkov. Columbus is expected to be without known shit disturber Mason Marchment, defenseman Brendan Smith, forward Miles Wood or Isac Lundestrom, all of whom are injured."
San Jose Sharks open the second half against Columbus Blue Jackets tonight. Both teams are rebuilding and aim to make the playoffs. Columbus sits 8th in the Metropolitan Division with an 18-16-7 record, matching the Sharks' point total despite a tougher Eastern Conference. The teams will meet again on March 28 in Columbus. Zach Werenski leads Columbus with 44 points and 15 goals, tied with Kirill Marchenko and Dimitri Voronkov. Columbus expects several injured players to miss the game. San Jose welcomes Michael Misa back, places Shakir Mukhamadullin on IR, inserts Nick Leddy, and plans Alex Nedeljkovic to start.
