Last season, the Columbus Blue Jackets struggled on the road, with a record of just 14-23-4. They start this season with two games on the road, beginning tonight in Bridgestone Arena, where the franchise had won just 9 times in the first 24 seasons.
First Period
The Jackets came out stronger and faster, but the Nashville Predators drew first blood with a Michael Bunting goal. It featured a turnover in the neutral zone and then some confusion on the part of the Jackets in their defensive zone. Bunting’s shot found its way through traffic and past goaltender Jet Greaves.
