On a night when the Columbus Blue Jackets needed to come out aggressive and on their toes, they did. For all of three shifts. After that it was all Vancouver.
Columbus was unable to get one past Ryan Miller who turned away 33 shots and notched his 39th shutout in his NHL Career. The Jackets start off the seven game home stand with a loss and fall to third in the Metro with Pittsburgh’s win against the Avalanche.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | T | |
| Blue Jackets | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Canucks | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
The Jackets held the Canucks scoreless through a forgetful first period where no team was able to put their mark on the game.
