The Blue Jackets returned home tonight to open their seven game homestand. Josh Anderson returned to the lineup after being pulled out of the last game and tested for a concussion.
In town tonight were the visiting Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks, who were coming into the game struggling of late, needed to make a push to have any hope of reaching the playoffs this season. They had lost 5 of their last 6.
Vancouver opened the scoring 30 seconds into the second period and never looked back. Columbus certainly didn’t do a damn thing to make them even sweat, generating exactly one dangerous chance (Seth Jones hit the crossbar) en route to a shameful 3-0 loss on home ice.
