After a long break, the Blue Jackets returned to action against the Lightning. Goal-less for most of the game, the Jackets did manage to get within one goal in the third period. But in the end, the bad team was outmatched by the good team. Here’s what happened.
1st Period
A minute into the game, the Jackets pinned the Lightning in their own zone and managed four or five quality chances.
In the early going, it continued to be mostly Columbus. The home team had ten shot attempts in the first five minutes, and all four forward lines were buzzing.
