TV: NHL Network
Radio: WWCD-FM (101.1)
The series
The Blue Jackets are 11-22-1-3 all-time against the Sharks. This is the second of four meetings this season.
The setup
Don't be surprised if the Sharks switch up their lines today. As the home club, they get the second line change, which means they could load up and go after the Jackets' second and fourth lines. ... Blue Jackets coach Scott Arniel was planning to wait until today to decide whether Steve Mason will be back in goal or Mathieu Garon gets his first start.
