After sliding out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, the Blue Jackets have used a four-game winning streak to catapult themselves back into postseason contention. Columbus has now compiled 92 points through 78 games so far this season and they also own the all-important tie-breaker with the Montreal Canadiens, who are currently tied with the Blue Jackets in points, but would finish in ninth place in the East if the season were to end today. Can Columbus keep pace in the chase for the final Wild Card spot with a victory on the road against the Sabres on Sunday night?
