The Blue Jackets and Lightning last met on Dec. 6 at Amalie Arena, and it was a game featured a heavy dose of Sergei Bobrovsky. Columbus’ starting goaltender was terrific, at times frustrating a high-scoring Lightning club and yielding only a late third-period goal that was inconsequential to the outcome. Saturday night, the shoe was […]
Panthers down Blue Jackets 3-2
The Blue Jackets won’t be pleased with letting two points slip away in south Florida Thursday night. It’s quite the contrast from their last trip to BB&T Center, when Sergei Bobrovsky stole the show with a 50-plus save performance and more dramatics in the shootout to earn a 4-3 victory. Tonight, it was a story […]
Blue Jackets beat Capitals 4-3 to start second half of season
The task is tall and the hill is steep, but the Blue Jackets knew they had to start the unofficial second half on a winning note. Standing in their way Tuesday night was a Washington Capitals team that, though struggling of late, has been one of the best in the Eastern Conference this season. But […]
Jets whip Blue Jackets 4-0
It started on the wrong foot for the Blue Jackets Wednesday night, and it didn’t get much better after that. The first two Winnipeg Jets shots resulted in goals, and before the game was 10 minutes old, Columbus was down 2-0 at MTS Centre to a team that had won four straight coming into tonight […]
Blue Jackets beat Wild 3-1
The Blue Jackets played a strong, composed road game on Saturday night in Boston. Tonight in St. Paul, they took it one step further. In what was perhaps one of their best road efforts of the season, the Blue Jackets put the clamps on a Minnesota Wild team coming off back-to-back victories and trying to […]
Blue Jackets down Bruins 3-1
The Blue Jackets weren’t on their game in the first period, they got better in the second, and saved their best work for the final act Saturday night in Boston. Riding a four-game losing streak coming in, they knew that running the table before the All-Star break next week was their best hope for staying […]
Canadiens beat Blue Jackets 3-2
The Blue Jackets were hoping to right the ship after back-to-back losses over the weekend, but this one’s going to sting for a while. Leading 2-0 in the third period against an opponent that was up to the task tonight, the Blue Jackets did the one thing they could ill afford to do: give the […]
Islanders whip Blue Jackets 5-2
Both teams were playing their second game in as many nights and both teams had scored one goal after 20 minutes…but that’s about where the similarities stopped Saturday night. The New York Islanders, the Metropolitan Division’s top team entering the game, made sure they remained the division leader headed into the new week with an […]
Blue Jackets knock off Stars 4-2
Two teams riding hot streaks were on a collision course Tuesday night at American Airlines Center – and a familiar face supplied a game-winning goal that was satisfying on multiple levels. Dallas came into the game 8-1-1 in its last 10 games with a three-game winning streak on home ice, while the Blue Jackets were […]
Blue Jackets beat Avalanche 4-3
Perhaps the only positive the Blue Jackets could take out of Saturday’s lopsided loss in Glendale was that they had another game 24 hours later. They took advantage of the opportunity to redeem themselves in a big way, and it was quite the poetic ending to a wild hockey game in Denver tonight. David Savard […]
