What is it with wild games between the Blue Jackets and Edmonton Oilers at Rexall Place? These two teams have had some memorable games over the years and tonight’s won’t be forgotten for all the wrong reasons.

Canucks Down Blue Jackets 1-0 in Shootout
March 27, 2013 by
Sergei Bobrovsky almost single-handedly willed the Blue Jackets to the most unlikely of victories Tuesday night at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, but one shootout goal was the difference in a rather tame affair. For most of the game, it was the Blue Jackets who had to stave off the Canucks, who kept coming shift after […]
Blue Jackets’ Point Streak Ends, Lose to Predators 5-2
March 25, 2013 by
As cliche as it may be, the saying holds true: all good things eventually come to an end. Such was the case for the Blue Jackets and their 12-game points streak that halted Sunday night against the Nashville Predators, in a game that began with a wild flurry that could have buried them from the […]
Blue Jackets Beat Predators 4-3
March 20, 2013 by
The Blue Jackets knew they would get the Predators’ best punch Tuesday, and though it took about 56 minutes to land, they had to absorb a vicious right hook before earning a hard-fought decision 4-3. Neither the players nor coach Todd Richards were particularly pleased with their performance in the final three minutes of regulation, […]
Blue Jackets Down Coyotes in Shootout
March 17, 2013 by
Sergei Bobrovsky is authoring some kind of story right now, and even his head coach couldn’t recall off-hand a run quite like the Blue Jackets goaltending has strung together. In what admittedly was not their cleanest or most complete effort in the first 28 games, the 24-year-old netminder held the Jackets together through regulation, overtime, […]
Blue Jackets Break Points Streak, but Fall to Blackhawks in Shootout
March 15, 2013 by
On a night when both the Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks traded momentum like it was the floor of the stock exchange, a rocking crowd of 15,009 at Nationwide Arena took it all in and loved every second of it — especially in what was one of the more entertaining overtime periods we’ve seen in […]
Canucks Beat Blue Jackets 2-1 in Shootout
March 13, 2013 by
The only thing standing in the way of the Blue Jackets’ win streak Tuesday night was a somewhat lucky shootout goal that will definitely raise some eyebrows. Make no mistake: Mason Raymond’s shootout and game-deciding goal was not the most creative or quirky attempt the NHL has seen in the last 48 hours, after Kaspars […]
Blue Jackets Beat Red Wings in SO for Fifth Straight Win
March 11, 2013 by
If you don’t enjoy watching these guys, please check your pulse. The Blue Jackets, on the strength of 21 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky in regulation/overtime and two more in the shootout, earned their fifth consecutive win Sunday night, a 3-2 decision at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. Columbus has earned points in seven straight, and […]
Blue Jackets Blank Red Wings 3-0
March 10, 2013 by
Let’s just get this out of the way: the Blue Jackets clinched their first season series win over the Red Wings in franchise history this afternoon, and they did so by playing the high-energy “team” game prevalent in what’s now a four-game winning streak. Sergei Bobrovsky – now 5-1-1 in his last seven appearances – […]
Blue Jackets Beat Canucks 2-1
March 8, 2013 by
The Blue Jackets have cautiously maintained that learning how to win hockey games would be an ongoing process, but lately, the process has produced rather encouraging results. Matt Calvert’s skill-laden overtime tally at with 56.9 seconds left in sudden death gave Columbus its third consecutive victory, a 2-1 decision over the Vancouver Canucks Thursday night […]
