The Columbus Blue Jackets entered this game looking to snap a 4 game losing streak - the longest of the season. In the previous 3 games (against the top 3 teams in the league), the Jackets found goals very hard to come by. Could the offense snap out of it tonight?
The start of the first period was great. The first 8 shots on goal in the game were by the Jackets. Winnipeg didn’t get their first shot on goal until almost 7 minutes into the game. As Columbus controlled possession, it was clear that the Jets were not on the same level as the previous opponents.
