Though they both expected to be having a better season to date, Minnesota and Columbus are lagging badly in the NHL playoff race. After injuries derailed the Blue Jackets early season start (6-15-2) Columbus cruised through December (10-1-1) but they have lost five of their eight games in January. Minnesota has been miserable in the New Year as well as they have posted a 3-5-1 mark which has dropped their overall record to 20-19-5 and has the Wild six points out of a Wild Card spot.
It's a tale of two cities as St. Louis is living up to their preseason hype while Colorado have been more a pretender than contender in the Stanley Cup chase. The Blues play the game-in-hand they have on Western Conference leading Anaheim and can move to within four points of the Ducks with a win. After an up and down 14-15-8 ride through 2014, Colorado is on a 5-2-2 run in the new calendar year. The Avalanche trail the Calgary Flames by three points for the final playoff spot in the competitive West.
