Monday Night was Fan Appreciation Night for Columbus Blue Jackets fans. Nick Foligno responded to his demotion to the fourth line in style.
That is about where the good news ends from game #79 against the New York Rangers.
Four different Rangers scored to lead New York to a playoff-clinching win at Nationwide Arena Monday night. Prior to the game, Jackets coach John Tortorella announced that Joonas Korpisalo would start again in the place of Sergei Bobrovsky. In addition, Jared Boll replaced Scott Hartnell who was made a healthy scratch for the third time this season.
The moves did not pay off for the home team.
