The Blue Jackets needed to take home 2 points on Sunday to keep their flickering playoff hopes alive. After 21 minutes of play, they were in great shape to do just that.
But, as has been the case too many times this season: they watched their big lead evaporate. That's the best way to describe what happened to this team yesterday. They stood around and watched.
The Jackets started slowly, but Jet Greaves made several good saves early to help them get their feet moving. Despite giving up a goal on his first shot, the young goaltender battled back and kept the Penguins from breaking this game open early.
