The Blue Jackets were swept by the Detroit Red Wings in the first round in 2009 when Nash was there. Columbus traded him to New York in July 2012. The teams didn't play last season, and he was sidelined with a concussion when the Rangers came to town in November, though he did play against his former team in the two games in New York.

Nash will receive a video tribute and have plenty of friends and family in the audience, though he's not certain what kind of greeting he'll receive, according to NHL.com.

"I'm not sure what to expect," he said after practice Thursday. "Me and the fans here have been through so much together, so if I get cheers, great; if I get boos -- and I'm sure there will be some -- I will move on from that. Obviously, it's the first time being here since the trade, and there's a lot of excitement for me coming back to play in front of the fans I played in front of for 10 years. There are a lot of good memories here, a lot of friends made. Of course the most important thing is the two points."

 The Rangers are coming off their highest-scoring game of the season when they scored eight goals on Ottawa on Monday. The Blue Jackets continue to outshoot their opponents, including 87-47 in their past two games.

"We're a team that just keeps coming," Johansen said. "We're a bunch of little rats; we're just in your face the whole game. That's our identity, and we've been doing a good job of sticking with that in the second part of this year for sure. I'm really happy with the way the guys played tonight and have been playing as of late."
