Mathieu Olivier's major boarding penalty and ejection forced the Blue Jackets to play with 11 forwards for much of the game. Mistakes and missed opportunities have put the Blue Jackets into a three-game slide, including a 4-3 loss Nov. 8 against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena.

After an absolutely dominating performance and win against the Edmonton Oilers last night, the Colorado Avalanche head into Vancouver to take on the Canucks in the second leg of a back-to-back. This will be the first of three regular-season matchups between these two teams.
