The Blue Jackets are riddled with injuries, but the Maple Leafs would need short memories to take them lightly; they were thoroughly outcompeted by the Blue Jackets in their three meetings last season, losing by a combined score of 13-3.

There are some rumblings of 7D, and of Carter Ashton’s season debut, but that’s been the case for almost every game this season.
