Welcome back to NHL Predictions! Tonight, the San Jose Sharks take on one of the surprise teams in the league, the Columbus Blue Jackets. Today, like every day, Last Word on Hockey looks at the games happening and gives our predictions for each one,

The Columbus Blue Jackets are back in action on home ice with a Metropolitan Division matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers. Philadelphia has been making waves lately, including the Gritty lemonade stand clip;

Columbus (20-17-6, in the Metropolitan Division) has won four straight games and is 7-2-1 in its last 10 games. Philly can get to .500 with a win.

When they took the ice for their home opener against the Florida Panthers on Oct. 15, they left an empty space on the left wing. Monahan won the opening face-off, and the teams stood still for 13 seconds with the puck at Gaudreau’s spot. Monahan scored and pointed at his banner amid a 4-3 loss, a moment Waddell said will stick with him forever.

Blue Jacket retain Aston-Reese for one more year at $775,000 after claiming him off waivers from the Golden Knights in the preseason.

The Blue Jackets are currently in a playoff spot. If they remain there, how will Waddell handle one of the biggest days on the NHL calendar?

In the fourteenth weekly Metropolitan Division snapshot, the division had a combined four regulation losses. The Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Islanders even got hot. All this and more in this week’s snapshot.

Greaves impresses again, Fantilli's hot, the top line's buzzing, Aston-Reese's injur and the Blue Jackets give 'Monty' another loss: 5 takeaways
