Following their recent struggles, tonight was the first night the Columbus Blue Jackets were at risk of being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention: A regulation loss coupled with a Montreal Canadiens win would do it. The CBJ were only in control of half of that equation, however, and that went quite well. A slight change tonight to the top six, with Boone Jenner getting…

The past month or two Buffalo has rounded more or less into the form we expected going into the year and we saw that early on. Buffalo wants to move the puck quickly and create rush chances and while the Jackets looked a little flat footed for much of the game Columbus was able to trade chances in the…
