Hurricanes' Cam Ward: Defending net in Columbus

Ward will face pucks from the Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.

Analysis:

Ward hasn't been outstanding over his last four starts, but he's done just enough and has gotten lots of offensive support on his way to four consecutive wins, including one against Columbus at home on Jan. 10. The 32-year-old may have a tougher go of it this time, as the Blue Jackets are averaging 3.76 goals per game at Nationwide Arena.
