McKenna starts for the Blue Jackets.

McKenna allowed four goals on 31shots in a loss to the Blues on Saturday. He will get his second straight start tonight when the Blue Jackets welcome the Jets to town. It is a solid matchup against a team who has lost three straight and four of their last five, but McKenna remains a risky play.

McKenna will start on Saturday.

McKenna allowed one goal on 18 shots in the final two periods of Thursday's win over the Rangers .With Curtis McElhinney and Sergei Bobrovsky both out with injuries, McKenna is the last man standing. He draws a tough matchup vs. the Blues on Saturday and McElhinney is not expected to be out long, so adding McKenna at this point does not appear to be a great idea.
