The Columbus Blue Jackets have started the season exactly as they wanted to to start the season. Four wins, 3-0 against Metro opponents, on top of the division. Life is good.
But creeping suspicions that the Columbus Blue Jackets power play hasn’t improved since the terrible second half of 2016-17 season is setting in. The Jackets are only converting at a 7.3% rate, good for fourth-worst in the NHL.
They have only one power play goal. One. The lone goal came in the first game of the season midway through a 5-0 drubbing of the New York Islanders.
