Columbus Blue Jackets at Chicago Blackhawks 8:30PM Eastern /7:30 Central Fox Sports Ohio/WGN
THE BUZZ
As bad as the Hawks 2-3 start is, 0-5 is not what the retooled Blue Jackets expected at all. Former Hawk Brandon Saad makes his UC debut in another sweater tonight, sure to be a big part of the broadcast storyline.
This game is far more important for the Hawks though in as much as they need to start showing some consistency and cohesion to their game—and the Blue jackets would seem to be a good team to do that against, especially at home at the UC.
