Nash is back, that means we are returning Craig MacDonald to Syracuse. This is good news for Jackets fans, we are finally beginning to get healthy.
Nikita Filatov is a healthy scratch simply because Hitch wants him to stay safe. The Vancouver game will be an intense battle - as always. The Canucks have lost six straight at home, and are on a four game losing streak right now. This is also a HUGE game because the Canucks are three points ahead of us in the standings, the Jackets have two games in hand.
With Nash back that means the top line of Nash-Umberger-Huselius could be back together. But, I don’t see it happening, at least not with the way Malhotra is playing.
Oh, and Mason is in net…does that actually need to be written?
I am going to have a Live Blog tonight, starting at 7:45 EST, so Canucks and Jackets fans can join together for the fun! It’s attached to this post.

So, with yesterday being my last day of vacation so to speak, I took a day off blogging, and did a ton of homework that I had neglected over Thanksgiving break. I don’t want to talk much about the game on Saturday, other than it was a convincing win. Not only did the defense shut down Ovechkin, but Steve Mason was a brick wall and stopped all the shots he faced. He dazzled the fans with his glove hand, his pad saves, and just all around perfect performance.

Home Ice = Win

I think saying “Undefeated at Home” is a little much at this point. However, we are 2-0 at home, very exciting! Derek Dorsett scored the game winning goal, his first in the NHL and against one of the best goaltenders in the league. Here’s Dorsett on his first goal:
“It was a huge relief, probably one of the biggest celebrations I’ve done after a goal. It’s just really exciting and I’m glad that I got it.”
We’re glad you got it too Derek. The Blue Jackets played two really great periods, and had a bit of a breakdown in the third, and Pascal Leclaire was outstanding.

Fredrik Modin is now on IR with a groin injury, according to Puck-Rakers to “make room for Malhotra.” Modin won’t be able to play the next three games, Picard is back in the lineup and Kris Russell is scratched. Here are the defensive pairings for the game tonight.
Commodore-Hejda
Klesla-Tyutin
Backman-Methot
