The Columbus Blue Jackets had won exactly one game before last night in this preseason, a now 2-4 stretch that includes absolute drubbings at the hands of St. Louis and Pittsburgh. Expectations are high this season for the Blue Jackets, so should this uneven of a preseason (so far) worry the Columbus faithful?*
First, let’s look at how previous preseasons have gone: generally well! The Blue Jackets have won at least half of their preseason games since the lockout and have two more games against Pittsburgh (Friday) and Saturday (Chicago). If they win those, they’ll hit that four-win benchmark.
