The Blue Jackets entered Thursday night’s game in Glendale slightly shorthanded. They remained without top goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, out since Dec. 8 with a groin strain. Their No. 1 center, Ryan Johansen, was made a healthy scratch. Both of their top defensemen – Jack Johnson and David Savard – were out of the lineup with […]
Cavaliers beat Celtics 89-77
When healthy, the Wine and Gold are loaded with offensive weaponry. But they can be just as impressive on the other end – and when they decide to clamp down on an opponent defensively, they’re almost impossible to beat. In what was billed as a bare-knuckle grudge match between the up-and-coming Celtics and a veteran […]

Stars crush Blue Jackets 5-1
With seven minutes left in the second period, the Blue Jackets and Stars were locked in a fast, physical 1-1 game at American Airlines Center.

Lightning beat Blue Jackets 2-1
Monday night’s game in one word: frustrating. It’s a feeling that has lingered for a while and one the Blue Jackets would like desperately to send out to sea.

Browns beat 49ers 24-10
Johnny Manziel was prophetic before the game when he signed a $100 bill for a fan with the name “Money Manziel.” Then, he went out and beat the 49ers 24-10 with an array of big passes in his return as the starter after being benched two weeks for lying to the coaches about his partying […]

Buckeyes stomp Aggies 89-56
The Buckeyes jumped-out to a big lead in the first quarter but the Aggies kept hanging around before Ohio State closed the door late in an 89-56 victory.

Jets beat Blue Jackets 6-4
On two separate occasions Thursday night, the Blue Jackets could absolutely not afford a slow start. The first instance was the actual start of the game, and it was not kind to the visitors, who were looking for a strong start and some redemption after fading fast in Tuesday’s loss to Los Angeles. Here’s how […]
