The Columbus Blue Jackets took the ice against their metro division rivals and quite frankly didn’t show up. Against a Pittsburgh Penguins team that was missing half of its regular line up, the Jackets were routed 4-1.
Scoring problems continued as the Jackets were only able to put one past Pittsburgh net-minder Matt Murray. The lone goal came after the game was already well out of hand. Brandon Dubinsky scored the lone goal for the Columbus Blue Jackets shorthanded, with less than 10 minutes left in the game.
The loss puts the Jackets three points behind the Pens for second in the Metro with three games left.
