The Columbus Blue Jackets lost to the host St. Louis Blues 7-3 on Friday night in the penultimate contest of their preseason. That drops their exhibition record to 4-2-1.
Even on paper, this was not an even matchup. The Blues were playing their final preseason game, and in front of a decent-sized home crowd. This was a dress rehearsal for their regular season lineup. The Blue Jackets, on the other hand, had called up a number of players from Cleveland Monsters camp. This often looked like an AHL team vs. an NHL team.
