Preview:
Listen, I am pumped about this game because TAILGATING. Yes, the Columbus Blue Jackets are hosting a team-sponsored tailgate today and it's going to be excellent.
The Bruins are on the road for the first time this season, and going up against Sergei Bobrovsky and the Jackets isn't going to be a walk in the park.

Boston has won the last two meetings between these two teams - once in a shootout, and once in regulation.
