Recap #9: Miles Wood Knocks Out Buffalo in Return to Lineup

Fresh off a win in Pittsburgh, could the Jackets get above .500 with a win in Buffalo? A late lineup change, Gudbranson reportedly had some hip soreness in warmups and was scratched in favor of Christiansen. Columbus has gotten the jump on most teams in the first period this year and this one was a clinic on how they want to play. The forecheck was active and effective early and six…

Recap #12: Disaster at the Open and Close on Long Island

Local boy ZAR drew into the lineup at the expense of Chinakhov following a fourth consecutive win. Could Miles Wood be the key to unlocking the second line in his elevated role? Apparently only Elvis got the memo this game started at 5pm. The islanders dominated this entire period registering 17 shots on goal to the Blue Jacket’s 4. Elvis stood tall for nearly all of it…

Recap #13: Ninety Seconds

Well, within a rounding error. That’s how far the Columbus Blue Jackets were from a regulation win in their last game, a 3-2 loss at the hands of the New York Islanders. That four point swing might have massive implications down the line. Let’s see how they respond. FLAMES GOAL – Morgan Frost from Jonathan Huberdeau and Matt Coronato – 0:56 1st FLAMES GOAL – Blake Coleman from Joel…

After a frustrating five-game road trip, the Columbus Blue Jackets returned to Nationwide Arena tonight to launch a three game homestand and rematch the Edmonton Oilers, who they lost to in overtime on Monday after blowing a third period lead.

Recap #20: Jets put tired Jackets to Bed

How would the good guys respond to a night of travel after a victory in the shootout over Montreal? A predictably slow start for the road team in this match and Winnipeg got an early power play after Provorov hit a Jet with a high stick. The PK did a good job to kill off the penalty with little trouble and even created a shorthand chance. A few moments after the kill the Jets broke down…

Recap #21: Fantilli’s home cooking earns an OT win

Last year, Adam Fantilli scored a hat trick in Toronto, with friends and family in attendance including his hat-throwing mother. He didn’t get three goals tonight, but he contributed on all three Columbus Blue Jackets goals which was enough to earn an overtime victory over the host Maple Leafs. The game started like too many have recently, with the Jackets playing passive hockey.
