Sergei Bobrovsky’s early season struggles have been no secret, but there was no sniff of the sort tonight in San Jose. He was the best player on the ice for either side, leading the way with 41 saves as the Blue Jackets kicked off their California road swing with a 5-2 win over the Sharks […]
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 […]
Blue Jackets beat Avalanche 4-3 for season’s first win
October 26, 2015 by
The Blue Jackets, after eight unsuccessful attempts, picked up their first victory of the season Sunday night in Denver with an effort that looked a lot like many of their wins from the past two seasons: a collective, concerted team effort and timely saves from Sergei Bobrovsky. It began slightly ominously with a Jack Skille […]
New coach, better play, but another Blue Jackets loss, 3-2 to Wild
October 23, 2015 by
Earlier Thursday, John Tortorella said he wanted the Blue Jackets to play with some arrogance. He wanted them to skate with a strut, and most importantly, get back to feeling good about themselves. While you don’t need to remind anyone that sports is a results-driven business, but taken on the whole, there was plenty to […]
Blue Jackets fall to Islanders 4-0, continue to search for season’s first win
October 21, 2015 by
The Blue Jackets began Tuesday night’s game as one would expect, doing whatever they could to get on the board and notch their first win of the season. It was no easy task, especially with a red-hot New York Islanders team coming into town off its best performance of the season, but early on, the […]
Blue Jackets continue to look for first win, lose to Sabres 4-2
October 13, 2015 by
Heading into Monday afternoon’s Columbus Day matinee at Buffalo, both the Blue Jackets and the Sabres were looking to capture their first win of the 2015-16 season. The Sabres officially began their next chapter at First Niagara Center with 4-2 win on a day that the Blue Jackets did themselves no favors, giving the Sabres […]

Blue Jackets upend Islanders 5-4 in Shootout
April 13, 2015 by
Sunday night’s game was a historic one for the New York Islanders, and the Blue Jackets were certainly determined to crash the party. It has been a recurring theme in the season series between these two teams: blown leads. The Islanders blew a two-goal third period lead last week at Nationwide Arena and lost in […]
Blue Jackets crush Maple Leafs 5-0
April 9, 2015 by
When things are going well, they’re going well — and that was certainly the case for the Blue Jackets right from the get-go tonight. They managed to take over the game early, winning the battles and races and making sure the Maple Leafs spent most of their time defending. Columbus took a 3-0 lead in […]
Rangers snap Blue Jackets’ streak with 4-3 OT win
April 7, 2015 by
Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards said this morning that his team could not afford to get into foot races with the New York Rangers, one of the league’s fastest teams. It was fairly easy to see why, too — but for the better part of the game, the Rangers weren’t attacking as they normally do […]
