The Carolina Hurricanes (46-21-6), atop the Metropolitan Division, face the Columbus Blue Jackets (38-24-12) tonight at Nationwide Arena in a season series tied 1-1 following Columbus's 5-1 home upset on March 17. Hurricanes hold edges in goals for/against (3.47/2.92 per game), power play (23.7%, 9th NHL), and penalty kill (80.2%), bolstered by goaltender Brandon Bussi's strong 27-6-1 mark (2.45 GAA). Blue Jackets counter with solid recent form (5-3-2 last 10) and home-ice momentum, but contend with defenseman Damon Severson out and forward Mathieu Olivier day-to-day (upper body). Carolina's Pyotr Kochetkov remains sidelined (hip), tilting special teams and goaltending as pivotal factors in this playoff-positioning matchup.
