The Columbus Blue Jackets came into tonight riding a five game losing streak. In fact, that is their longest losing streak of the season. In order to snap that skid, they would need best the Boston Bruins in Boston in the first game of the home-and-home series. The Jackets were still without Werenski, Larsen, and McCarthy.
Prior to the game, former Jackets’ captain Nick Foligno was honored for his 1,000th game in the NHL. Hats off to the Bruins organization for scheduling this special night with the Blue Jackets in town. The presentation included a video of current and former teammates, family, and friends congratulating Nick.
