After snapping the losing streak, the Columbus Blue Jackets open a quick road trip in Quebec against the Montreal Canadiens.
With 11 losses in their last 14 games, the Montreal Canadiens begin a four-game home stand on Saturday night as they look to continue their dominance over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets by extending their winning streak over the visitors to six games dating back to November of 2022. With a win the Blue Jackets could make this a weekend of streak-busting as they ended a six-game losing skid in Friday night’s home win over Pittsburgh and a victory would end a three-game string of losses inside Bell Centre where they have not won since February of 2022 going winless in three trips being outscored 15-5 in that span.
