They will. Should be a real fun game.

#CBJ Corey Tropp will play tonight. Matt Frattin is out. Only lineup decision is whether Jared Boll or Jack Skille will draw in on 4th line.
As far as Horton goes, I would guess that he has a groin or hamstring bothering him, maybe a hip pointer. He most likely isn't 100% after only four games off. If he has an ankle sprain or knee, he would be less effective.
The question is, is a Horton that's less than 100% better than say a Frattin or a Tropp at 100%?
A win tonight and a Rangers loss against the Canes would put us 2 points behind NYR with a game in hand. Home ice in the first round is still a possibility
Pretty sure we got tonight's game in the bag thanks to the "#5th Line"
lolz...
anyway, I think we will win tonight but am worried about Shane Doan and his dirty antics trying to headshot Joey after he scores or something
We haven't won back to back games since March 8/11. I think we end that tonight.
Too bad Gaborik isn't here to protect him!
Now...let's keep eye on teams ahead of us in the standing instead of looking over our shoulders
I hope there's a great walk-up crowd. Team deserves a nice final regular season home game crowd (but not a sell-out...we know how those go).

Well, we could certainly use Gaborik as he continues to ride a point streak as opposed to Frattin who is starting a new press box streak....
I don't think that's correct. We had an 8-game winning streak from Jan 6-23, 2014.

Jarmo took Frattin as a body to fill out the year. The trade was for a second round pick. Gaborik could score 100 goals for LA, wouldn't change the fact that he didn't do anything here. Get over it.
No it's correct. We haven't won consecutive games since March 8/11. What does our 8 game winning streak in January have to do with that?
Gaborik did more, and could do more, than Frattin.
And the picks are basically throwaways and won't have impact on the Jackets making the playoffs this year, next, or most likely even the year after when we are in a clear window of contention.
So no, I will not get over it.
...but at least we have the 5th line.
Perhaps we have a different definition of the word consecutive?
