The 82 game season marches on with the Columbus Blue Jackets missing out on some big opportunities to make waves in the Metropolitan Division. Through four games in December, the Jackets have lost three in regulation, including two games to division rivals.
The Jackets started the month with a tough 3-2 loss on Long Island to the Islanders. The Jackets gave up a 2-0 lead to New York and dropped a prime opportunity to gain two points on the road against a division foe.
A week later, the Jackets laid another egg, this time at home against the division leading Washington Capitals.
