For the first time this season, the Columbus Blue Jackets fell under .500 for a month. More frustrating than losing is the way they lost, blowing big leads against Seattle and Vancouver, and giving up goals in quick succession in Dallas, Toronto, Seattle, Vancouver, and Edmonton. (Not to mention the massive blown lead against Carolina to start January, which falls outside of the scope of this article)

A two week break due to a leaguewide COVID outbreak may have come at exactly the right time, as it allowed the team to have a physical and mental reset.
