The Columbus Blue Jackets are losing games they need to win, especially against teams who they are battling for a playoff spot or are nowhere near a playoff spot. These are games that the Blue Jackets cannot afford to lose if they want to be around once the playoffs start.
Teams who the Jackets are dropping points to include the Pittsburgh Penguins and Edmonton Oilers among others.
A big part of the reason why they’re unable to win lately is simply due to a lack of scoring. They’ve scored a total of four goals in the last four games, which at this point in the season against playoff teams isn’t even close to enough.
