Welp, that was underwhelming. The Columbus Blue Jackets lost their opening game of the season ---- to the visiting Toronto Maple Leaves.
Possession was fairly even and neither team played especially well or poorly - at even strength. Too many penalties proved costly, with Toronto scoring on 2 of their 5 chances.
Good news: Can Atkinson scored for the sixth straight opening game. That was also the eighth straight Jackets opener with a power play goal. Sadly it was the only good power play of the night.
Bad news: Fire Brad Larsen. PP is still disorganized.
