Blue Jackets goaltender Jet Greaves loses track of the puck, ultimately resulting in a Tim Stutzle goal. | Kirk Irwin/GettyImagesThe Blue Jackets lost their fourth straight game last night, 6-3 at home to the Ottawa Senators. It was an ugly loss in front of the home crowd, whose loudest moment may have come when Elvis Merzlikins was pulled in the first period after his third goal allowed.
I don't think that Bronx cheer was entirely fair. I'll preface this article by saying one thing: the Jackets needed Elvis to be at his absolute best last night. He was not. He absolutely needs to be better.
