A tough 2-0 loss gave the Columbus Blue Jackets a reality check on Thursday night. The power play woes continued and they suffered their first shutout of 2017-18.
To be fair, The Tampa Bay Lightning are, in terms of points, the best team in the NHL. However, it won’t be any easier tonight against a 5-0-1 Los Angeles Kings team.
The Kings are the only team in the NHL who have yet to lose a game in regulation. Their only loss was in overtime against the Calgary Flames on October 11. This makes for a matchup against two of the top teams in the league early in the season.
