Columbus Blue Jackets host the Carolina Hurricanes on March 31 in a Metropolitan Division clash with playoff positioning at stake, as the Eastern Conference-leading Hurricanes (around 45-19-6) seek to rebound from a 2-5 loss to Montreal on March 24 and maintain their top seed, while the third-place Blue Jackets (38-23-11) build on a recent 5-1 home rout of Carolina on March 17 despite their 12-game point streak ending with a 1-0 shutout to the Islanders. Key Blue Jackets injuries include defenseman Damon Severson (week-to-week, upper body) and Brendan Smith (knee), thinning their blue line, while Carolina's Shayne Gostisbehere nears return from a lower-body issue. Home-ice advantage and recent head-to-head momentum favor Columbus amid both teams' inconsistent form post-streak.
