The Columbus Blue Jackets fell in a bad game to watch against the New Jersey Devils. The team was unable to create any solid scoring opportunities and leaked in the back end. Missing Ryan Murray and Markus Nutivaara is really hurting this team.
The two have been if not the best, one of the top three third pairing in the NHL this season. From their scoring numbers to possession metrics, this duo has been a pleasant surprise. Everyone was hoping to trad Murray and boy are we happy we didn’t.
Nuti is a point away from double digits as well and has played well in his own zone.
