For nearly 50 minutes of Tuesday night’s game, the Blue Jackets were in good shape and had the Colorado Avalanche figured out. But all it takes is one bounce to get things started, and tonight, the visitors got a trio of them to turn the game around. There were five goals scored in the game, […]
Blue Jackets Beat Red Wings 4-2
March 26, 2014 by
The Blue Jackets thrust themselves back into the playoff picture Tuesday with their seventh win in their last nine games against the Red Wings (7-1-1 in that span), and their sixth in seven tries on home ice. If you want to get into the dance, these are the games you have to win…and they were […]
Islanders Beat Blue Jackets 2-0
March 24, 2014 by
The Blue Jackets’ margin for error is dwindling as the number of games remaining does the same, and they can ill afford another stumble like they had on Long Island Sunday. In two games against non-playoff teams Carolina and the Islanders, the Blue Jackets have racked up 88 combined shots on goal and have but […]
Blue Jackets Beat Canadiens 3-2
March 21, 2014 by
The Blue Jackets had plenty of opportunities to let momentum slip away Thursday night in Montreal, but they simpled refused to let it happen. An early first-period goal by the Canadiens didn’t phase them one bit, and instead, they re-grouped and executed a nifty play off the face-off for a shorthanded equalizer later in the […]
Canes Down Blue Jackets 3-1
March 19, 2014 by
The shoe was on the other foot Tuesday night at Nationwide Arena, and Anton Khudobin kicked out pretty much everything that he saw. Carolina, struggling coming into Tuesday’s game and having recently been challenged by their head coach, Kirk Muller, had no intention of playing out the string tonight in Columbus and they upended a […]
Sharks Beat Blue Jackets 4-3 in Shootout
March 14, 2014 by
Sometimes, a team will feel good about securing one standings point in an overtime loss. Thursday night’s game certainly felt that way, but make no mistake, the Blue Jackets had their chances to lock up the second. Joe Pavelski’s goal – a pretty one – in the second round of the shootout was the only […]
Blue Jackets Beat Red Wings 4-1
March 12, 2014 by
The Blue Jackets don’t like to lean on Sergei Bobrovsky as much as they do at times, but they needed him Tuesday night in the first period against the Red Wings. A huge game in the playoff race, both teams dead even with 71 points and less than 20 games to go, this one held […]
Blackhawks Whip Blue Jackets 6-1
March 7, 2014 by
Let’s just go ahead and rip the bandage off: there wasn’t a lot that went right for the Blue Jackets Thursday night. They strung together a decent first period but went to the dressing room down 2-1, they yielded three goals in the second period that put the game away, and didn’t have much left […]
Blue Jackets Beat Stars 4-2
March 5, 2014 by
Whatever Artem Anisimov’s having, his teammates would like some of it. Two goals for the big Russian center – the second one being a huge insurance marker late in the third period – were pivotal in the Blue Jackets’ third straight win, a 4-2 triumph over the Dallas Stars at Nationwide Arena. That gives him […]
Blue Jackets Beat Maple Leafs 2-1
March 4, 2014 by
In order to slow down the high-flying Toronto Maple Leafs, a total team effort and commitment to all three zones is the first and foremost requirement. The Blue Jackets, starting a pivotal stretch in their schedule, got that Monday night at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. They were in shooting lanes, clogging the slot […]
