Blue Jackets beat Devils 3-1
October 28, 2015 by
This was certainly a defensive-minded, close-to-the-vest game reminiscent of those played by the Devils of years past. The Blue Jackets started sluggishly out of the gate, turned pucks over and did not make it easy on themselves by any stretch – and it fed right into New Jersey’s counterpunching, attacking style. They were certainly not […]

New coach, better play, but another Blue Jackets loss, 3-2 to Wild
October 23, 2015 by
