Neither Todd Richards or his players liked the way they started Saturday’s game in Winnipeg. They were a step behind and could not find a way to match the intensity of a desperate home side that had lost four straight coming into the game. The Jets, sporting a completely reconfigured lineup, had a goal disallowed […]

How would Sergei Bobrovsky perform in his return from a groin injury? Would there be any rust on his game having not played in over a month? Boy, did the reigning Vezina Trophy winner answer both questions emphatically Monday night at Madison Square Garden. Bobrovsky was razor sharp right from the get-go and made 15 […]

You would be hard-pressed to script Nathan Horton’s debut any better. After a six-month recovery from shoulder surgery and an excruciating wait to finally get in the lineup, Horton made his long-awaited debut tonight in Glendale against the Phoenix Coyotes.

The Blue Jackets, obviously huge fans of the dramatic, are headed into the Christmas break on their highest high of the season – and they have surprise starting goaltender Mike McKenna to thank. Down 3-2 late in the third period at PNC Arena, the Blue Jackets saw a great start to the final stanza dissipate […]

Locked in a 2-2 tie entering the third period, the Blue Jackets were clearly disinterested in a repeat of Thursday’s third period at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. They had managed a major momentum swing earlier in the game and were still in a good position with 20 minutes to play, down two forwards […]

Through 40 minutes, the Blue Jackets looked the part of a team fully engaged in a divisional battle against a team as desperate for points as they are. And then everything came unraveled. Down 3-0 through two periods on home ice, the Philadelphia Flyers skated to the dressing room to a chorus of boos inside […]
