The Columbus Blue Jackets will enter the match with an all-Russian front three.

The Columbus Blue Jackets will enter the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season match against the Ottawa Senators with a front three made up entirely of Russian hockey players. The Athletic reports this.

Dmitry Voronkov will become the central forward in the second line. Egor Chinakhov and Kirill Marchenko will take places on the flanks of the attack. The meeting will take place on the night of Saturday, December 2.

On November 28, Marchenko, Chinakhov, Voronkov, as well as another teammate and compatriot, Ivan Provorov, scored a goal in a match against the Boston Bruins and set a historic achievement. For the first time, four Russian players from the same team scored goals in one game.

Columbus is in 15th place in the Eastern Conference. To qualify for the playoffs, a team needs to finish in the top eight.
