The Stretch: Ducks vs Blue Jackets preview

The Ducks will play the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight in a game that could effectively end any hopes the Ducks have of making the playoffs. The Jackets are one of the easier teams we will face in the remaining 17 contests. Keep in mind the ducks can only lose 3 in regulation to have any kind of postseason hopes. Whatever is missing from the team after the break needs to be found tonight if they want to put together the kind of streak necessary to make the playoffs. Let s hope for a good 60 effort that will change the mentality. Probable starting goaltenders: ANA Jonas Hiller CBJ Steve Mason Players to watch: Nash, Ryan, Getzlaf.
