After an improved November, the Columbus Blue Jackets had a December whose record looked like October’s. They were 3-7 in the first month and 4-10 here. It was the start of a road-heavy schedule for the team and they earned just one victory on the road.
Todd Richards got fired in 2015 after seven straight regulation losses. Brad Larsen survived the same, though he had a couple that were by a single goal. These games were less competitive than the score indicated, however.
