Last 10 matches: Minnesota 7-2-1; Columbus 2-5-3
The Jackets have a strong 11-4-1 record versus the Wild at home but the tables turn when they go to Minnesota, where they’re 4-9-3. Eighteen of the 32 meetings between them over the years have been decided by one goal or less. Columbus’ power play remains strong at a third-in-the-League 23.1 percent.Havlat has been turning it up over the last couple of games for the Wild. He had a goal and two assists in the Vancouver loss to go with a helper and the game-winning goal at Calgary, giving him a total of five points over the two games, which, coincidentally, are the last five goals Minnesota has scored overall.
First meeting between the two teams since opening night, a 2-1 Blue Jackets win before a sold-out Nationwide Arena crowd. Rostislav Klesla scored midway through the third period to break a 1-all tie and Steve Mason held off a 5-on-3 onslaught in the final minute to protect the win.
Wild forward Andrew Ebbett sustained a concussion against Phoenix last week and has been placed on IR, joining the list of concussion victims that includes Petr Sykora, Brent Burns and Pierre-Marc Bouchard. Owen Nolan (leg) remains questionable for Tuesday.

Klesla is expected to miss another month with a torn groin while Jackets forward Derek Dorsett will also be out that long after breaking his hand. We will post results of this match, as soon as posible.. stay with us.
