(SportsNetwork. Miles Killebrew Jersey .com) - The Utah Jazz look to put an end to their five-game losing streak when the Denver Nuggets visit Salt Lake City Monday night. The Jazz opened a four-game homestand with Saturdays 112-96 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers and Blake Griffin led the charge with 28 points. Chris Paul posted 17 points and 10 assists for Los Angeles, which shot 56.3 percent. Jazz leading scorer Gordon Hayward (19.2 ppg) posted a game-best 30 points on 11-of-18 shooting. He has scored 30-plus points in two of his last four games, averaging 22.8 points in that stretch. Hayward has scored 30 or more points four times this season and averaged 20.2 ppg in November. Derrick Favors had 19 points and seven rebounds against the Clippers, and Trevor Booker netted 15 off the bench for Utah, which has lost three in a row as the host and is 3-5 at EnergySolutions Arena. We did a good job of fighting back, said Booker, whose 15 points were a season high to go with nine rebounds. We made a (few) errors, (some) miscommunication and they capitalized on it. Utah hasnt scored 100 or more points in the last seven games and will also entertain Toronto and Orlando in its state capital. The Nuggets split a home-and-home series with the Phoenix Suns and took the second game, 122-97, Friday night. They scored 33 points in each of the first three quarters (99-70) and shot 46.6 percent from the field. Arron Afflalo led the way with 22 points, Timofey Mozgov had 13 and four players finished with 11 points (Wilson Chandler, Kenneth Faried, Ty Lawson, Danilo Gallinari). Lawson added 10 assists and J.J. Hickson provided 10 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Denver has been playing well of late with six wins in the last seven tries. It means a lot for the mental toughness of this team, Gallinari said. We are very focused. You dont want to lose back-to-back games against the (same) team. The Nuggets are fourth in the NBA with 105.5 points per game, but sit 26th in opponents scoring at 105.5. They are 6-0 this season when holding opponents under 100 points and 7-0 when outshooting them. After visiting the Jazz, Denver, which is 3-5 on the road, will return to the Rocky Mountains to host Portland on Tuesday. Nuggets center JaVale McGee has missed the last three games with a leg injury and is probable Monday. Denver and Utah split four meetings a season ago. The Nuggets are only 6-14 in the previous 20 games between the Northwest foes in Salt Lake City.

Next up are the Columbus Blue Jackets, who are trying improve on last seasons playoff campaign - provided they can get their No. 1 centre signed to a contract. Catch up on their summer moves and the issues they face this season, as well as Craig Buttons analysis of their top prospect and an analytical breakdown by TSNs Scott Cullen. Division: Metropolitan GM: Jarmo Kekalainen Head Coach: Todd Richards 2013-14: 43-32-7 (4th in Metropolitan) Playoffs: Lost in First Round Goals For: 226 (12th) Goals Against: 214 (13th) PP: 19.3% (11th) PK: 82.1% (14th) That Was Then: Last season was the most storied in the teams 16-year history. That seems like lofty praise for a first-round exit, but the Blue Jackets fought hard and got a consistent effort throughout their line-up to earn a playoff spot in the post-season. Things started ugly as the Jackets lost 10 of their first 15 games, including a pair of five-game losing streaks. Matters didnt get much better when Sergei Bobrovsky went down in early December with a groin injury. The team sweated out some wins under Curtis McElhinney and Mike McKenna and put the pedal down upon Bobrovskys return. They won eight in a row from Jan. 6 to Jan. 23 and thrust themselves into the Eastern Conference playoff race, earning the Eastern Conferences first wild card spot. Though outmatched on paper, the plucky Blue Jackets pulled out a pair of dramatic overtime wins against Sidney Crosby and the Penguins in Games 2 and 4. They almost forced a Game 7, but the clock ran out on the season despite a three-goal outburst in the third period of an eventual 4-3 Game 6 loss. The Jackets saluted their rapturous fans from the ice but, more importantly, may have served notice to the league that theyre for real. In just his third NHL season, 21-year-old Ryan Johansen found his stride. He emerged as the No. 1 centre the Jackets had been waiting for and piled in 33 goals without missing a single game. How that plays out this season remains to be seen.

Analysis: Games 1-20: Strong goaltending wasnt enough to overcome subpar possession and shooting. Games 21-41: Goaltending dipped, but shooting skyrocketed, making them more competitive. Games 42-62: Best stretch of the season, with vastly improved possession combined with high percentages. Games 63-82: Scoring dried up, but goaltending and possession were strong enough to keep Blue Jackets in playoff picture. Key 2014 Additions: LW Jerry DAmigo, C Brian Gibbons, LW Scott Hartnell Key 2014 Subtractions: LW Blake Comeau, RW Matt Frattin, C Derek MacKenzie, G Mike McKenna, D Nick Schultz, RW Jack Skille, LW R.J. Umberger This Is Now: Building on last seasons success is no easy task for the Jackets. Thee first hurdle to clear is Johansens contract status. Dwayne Washington Jersey. . The 22-year-old has finished his entry-level deal and negotiations between his camp and the Blue Jackets has dragged on. A holdout could be devastating for the team. A full year out of Bobrovsky is also key. He shone in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season and was a spark-plug for the team upon his return last year. His save percentage prior to injury was .909, but he posted a .931 mark to finish the season. The rest is up to the development of their young core and scoring depth. Johansen had his breakout year, but second in team scoring was defenceman James Wisniewski with 51 points. The addition of Scott Hartnell from the Philadelphia Flyers is a huge character boost for a team that already has a lot of that, but questions beg about his on-ice performance. He brings grit and is always good for 100 penalty minutes, but have the Jackets acquired the 20-goal player from last season or was Hartnells scoring talent buried by the Flyers depth last year? He scored 37 in 2011-12, but at 32 years-old, expecting him to do it again may be unrealistic. Hartnell does, however, provide leadership and a positive influence for the teams young forwards. Johansen, Boone Jenner, Cam Atkinson, Artem Anisimov, Nick Foligno and Brandon Dubinsky are all still in their twenties and could learn a lot from him.

Excellent skater with the ability to move past defenders seemingly with ease. Can make plays with the puck at high speed and in tight areas. What should allow Alexander to be a top center is an outstanding sense of the game, offensively and defensively. He adapts to the situation and then takes advantage. Centre ice is a critical position in the NHL and a duo of Alexander and Ryan Johansen puts the Blue Jackets in a position for success. Fantasy - Scott Cullens Player to Watch Boone Jenner A physical forward with good size, Jenner earned a more prominent role late in his rookie season, scoring 15 points in his last 27 games (then five points in six playoff games), finishing the year on Ryan Johansens wing. Jenner is still young, only 21-years-old heading into his second season, and it could be too soon to forecast an offensive breakthrough, but if Johansen gets signed and there is an opportunity to build on the foundation they were laying last season, then Jenner should continue to play a prominent role in the Blue Jackets attack.
