KEY MATCHUP
Werenski vs. Matthews/Marner
Blue Jackets rookie sensation Zach Werenski is having a superb season, but if he wants to sway some Calder Trophy votes his way the mobile defenceman will need a big game against Leafs Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, the current favourites for rookie of the year.
NEED TO KNOW
The Blue Jackets, who had a 16-game winning streak ended on Jan. 5, have won back-to-back only once over the past 19 contests. They lost last time out, 3-2 to the Rangers on Monday. . . The Blue Jackets’ power play is 0-for-14 over the last nine games. . . . Left winger Scott Hartnell (lower body) is questionable.
