The Columbus Blue Jackets looked great in their 5-2 win in Manitoba last night. They checked well, fired a plethora of shots on Steve Mason and played clean, only drawing one penalty.
But they went 0-3 on the man advantage. Technically. They really went 0-2 since a penalty in the third period was almost immediately turned into a 4-4 when Pierre-Luc Dubois was called for hooking.
The Winnipeg game put the Jackets power play at 1/16 and no goals since their first power play in the first game of the year. I’ve harped on how the Jackets need to get this turned around and how time and chances will be the only cure.
