Coming off of the most demoralizing win in franchise history, or at least since 2013, the Blue Jackets looked to stay in the win column against their division rivals from New Jersey. Since apparently even 5-0 leads aren’t safe, Columbus would need a fast start in this one.
First Period
DEVILS GOAL – Jack Hughes from Tyler Toffoli – 0:47 1st Period
Welp. On the first breakout attempt of the game, Johnny Gaudreau set up a beautiful feed to Tyler Toffoli, who sent it up the ice to Jack Hughes for a breakaway. Unfortunately, Toffoli and Hughes play for the other team.
