If the Blue Jackets have any visions of taking the Presidents' Trophy, tonight's game against the Capitals is a must win. Hartnell is expected to draw back into the lineup, with Bjorkstrand on the shelf after a 2-game suspension worth hit from Polak last night. A win of any sort tonight by the Blue Jackets, coupled with a loss of any sort by the Pens, would put the Jackets in first place in the league. (At least, if my NHL-bizarre-tie-breaking-math is up to scratch.)
