With Friday’s win, the Columbus Blue Jackets have won three out the season’s first four games. All of those victories have come over Metro Division opponents too, which makes it even better.
The Rangers put up a hell of a fight, though. They struck first with a Kevin Hayes goal in the first period and consistently pelted Sergei Bobrovsky with shots through the first two periods, but a poor overall final 20 minutes cost the Rangers yet another game.
While the Columbus Blue Jackets are riding high with a 3-1-0 record to kick of the 2017-18 season, the New York Rangers are not having as good of a time.
