Given the low expectations that many had for the Columbus Blue Jackets this season, staying above .500 for the first few weeks is a pleasant surprise. Unsurprisingly, a team with new coaches and new players in new roles has struggled with consistency. For the most part, they’ve hung with bad or average teams and have been outclassed by teams like the Hurricanes and Rangers who are much more talented.
