Both the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Chicago Blackhawks are doing the blue-line shuffle to end the week, with lineup changes almost certain.The winless Blue Jackets (0-2-0) hope to break that streak as they host the Blackhawks (2-2-0) on Friday night at Nationwide Arena, with defenseman Ryan Murray drawing back into the lineup. Chicago, looking to extend its winning streak after dropping the first two games of the season, will have defensemen Brian Campbell and Michal Rozsival taking a seat.After six days without playing a game, the Blue Jackets are itching to drop the puck in search of that elusive first win.Its a big game for us, Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella said via the team website. Weve been sitting on 0-2 for a week here. It sucks. We need to have a good start and feel good about ourselves.The teams best period the early season also happened to be the last one against the San Jose Sharks, establishing a stout forecheck and scoring twice before ultimately losing 3-2 at home.Murray was reunited with Seth Jones on the top defensive-pairing in Thursdays practice, with rookie Zach Werenski dropping down to the second-pairing with David Savard. Rounding-out the final pair was Jack Johnson and Markus Nutivaara.Tortorella had a simple answer when asked about the change.I didnt like how the pairs played in the last game, he said.Hes also cognizant of not overworking Werenski after just two NHL games. In the absence of Murray against the Sharks, the 19-year old logged significant ice time (22:53) with one goal and four shots over 27 shifts, while playing primarily with Jones.We have to be careful with (Werenski), Tortorella said. Hes still a young man.Over the last five seasons with the Florida Panthers, Brian Campbell never missed a regular-season game. It appears that hell be sitting for Fridays game, joining Michal Rozsival, who hasnt played in any of the first four games. Campbells offseason acquisition was heralded as what was missing on a defense that struggled last season.Trevor van Riemsdyk had a poor game on opening night against the St. Louis Blues, recording 0-0-0, with zero shots and 4 PIM. He rode the pine for the next three games.We dont want the same two guys sitting out all the time, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said to the Chicago Sun-Times. Sometimes you dont want to tinker with a winning lineup, and sometimes... youve got to get them in there to play. Thats what were visiting.Van Riemsdyk played in all 82 games last season for the Blackhawks, but finds himself fighting for ice time on a blue-line crowded with eight defensemen.Columbus announced Thursday that defenseman Cody Goloubef (oblique injury) was placed on waivers, so that he could be assigned to the teams AHL Cleveland Monsters, ostensibly to get him playing time coming off the injury. If he clears at noon on Friday, hell report to Cleveland.For Chicago, its injury situation is a touch longer than the Blue Jackets.Marian Hossa, having scored his 500th goal in Tuesdays win over the Philadelphia Flyers, suffered a lower-body injury after blocking a shot in the latter stages of the game. Hes considered day-to-day and is questionable for Fridays game in Columbus and Saturdays game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.Rookie forward Ryan Hartman, having missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, could return to the lineup Friday.The two starting goalies for Fridays game are expected to be Sergei Bobrovsky for Columbus and Corey Crawford for Chicago.

Tyler Lydon had four blocks.Justin Robinson led the Hawks with 11 points, and Collin Stewart had eight.I thought our defense in the second half was really good, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. They (Monmouth) got some looks that they missed but our defense was pretty good, we pushed them off spots and made them take tough shots.White said the Hawks played into Syracuses hands in the second half.The zone really forces you to take deep 3s, said White, a fifth-year transfer playing zone for the first time. They took the bait and took some really deep shots. If you can make a 25-footer you deserve everything you get but they played into our hands and we did a good job keeping the ball out of the post. It was a pretty good defensive night.Point guard Frank Howard thought Syracuses effort on the defensive end was the best of the young season.Im not saying theyre not a great team but I think the zone made them work harder than they normally do. We just played good defense today, and it was definitely the zone. We stepped it up a notch when it came to that.Anytime you can hold a team to 21 points and with the way they usually shoot its a great confidence builder for this team, Lydon said.The Orange led 37-29 at the half, but established control by going on a 17-6 run, led by Howards six points.Theyve had great teams for a long, long time, said Monmouth coach King Rice, a Binghamton, NY native who grew up watching Syracuse in the Carrier Dome and labelled Fridays experience as his biggest thrill as a coach.
