Game #4 Recap: Blue Jackets no show against Red Wings, leaderships’ penalties lets them down

The Columbus Blue Jackets have played two games thus far, and they have been two strange ones. The Jackets got their doors blown off by the Philadelphia Flyers on opening night with numerous defensive mistakes and a poor fourth line contributing to the loss. The team then beat the New York Rangers in a game they had no business winning as Boone Jenner posted a hat trick, the goaltending tandem held up, and several forwards who swapped in played well. So, what to expect tonight? Who knows!

There will be lineup changes, though: firstly, Spencer Martin will make his regular season debut as Elvis Merzlikins is still out with a stomach bug.
