Tonight’s game started out well. We saw the Blue Jackets playing like they hadn’t played even in the wins over the weekend. They checked often and they checked hard. They kept the puck in the offensive zone for extended periods of time. The 5v5 Corgi after one period was 17-6 in favor of the Jackets.
At the 8:55 mark, one of those extended possessions resulted in a Nick Foligno goal. Ryan Murray unloaded from deep and the puck caromed off of Wennberg’s stick and then Foligno’s skate.
Early in the second period, New York’s first line would strike.
