The first game in the afternoon NHL schedule for next Saturday corresponds to the confrontation between Columbus Blue Jackets and Detroit Red Wings, teams from the Eastern Conference that will play the annual NHL Stadium Series in the Ohio Stadium at 05:00 pm CST. With that in mind, this game is expected to be the biggest spectacle of the weekend despite the fact of not having two of the best teams in the league on it.
In this matter, it must be noted that this will be the first time that Columbus Blue Jackets will participate in this spectacular series, so having a streak of 3 victories in a row looks like a perfect opportunity to carry on extending their advantage over Ottawa, NY Rangers and Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference standings.
Nonetheless, Detroit Red Wings will look up to finalize with the good overall performance from the Blue Jackets after losing their most recent matchup against the Blue Jackets last Thursday (2-5). Additionally, it must be noted that the Red Wings have already faced an NHL Stadium Series game back in 2016, when they were able to defeat Colorado Avalanche (3-5).
