This season saw the introduction of the bye week.
Generally speaking, teams have played like garbage in the first game or two after the bye, and you just know coaches are not in favor of the player-requested mandatory break. (If you play fantasy hockey, you surely also think the bye weeks are shit)
The Jackets are the exception to this. With a 7-0 win over the visiting Islanders, they are just the sixth of 22 teams to win in the first game after the bye.
A recap of the 7 goals:
1 - Jack Johnson got the credit for a goal that deflected off of Nick Leddy’s arse.
