It was going to be tough to keep up the 4 wins a month pace in a 9 game month, and sure enough these Columbus Blue Jackets only managed 3 wins. Most frustrating is they didn’t even have the overtime losses here; each one was in regulation. October had just 9 games but they managed 3-4-2 instead of 3-6-0.
Standings
The grip on last place in the East has strengthened, with a 5 point lead for Ottawa with 2 games in hand.
