Game #35 Recap: Blue Jackets Shoot Down Flyers 3 - 2

The Blue Jackets returned home from a two-game road trip that saw them tally eight goals. Unfortunately, they surrendered ten over the two games, but managed a split versus Dallas and Arizona. With the net situation at best an iffy proposition, and defensemen David Savard and Jack Johnson sidelined, this one promised to be . . . interesting. Fortunately, the visitors on this night were the Philadelphia Flyers, who for some reason find it exceedingly difficult to beat the Blue Jackets, particularly at Nationwide. The last time the Flyers skated off Nationwide ice with a victory, the year was 2005, and Robert Esche out-dueled Mark Denis for the win.
