Nowhere is the benefit of the Blue Jackets strong start better exemplified than by tonight's result. Two turnovers at the blue line end up in the net against the good guys, and finally they suffer a loss. Turns out that happens to every NHL club, every year. Not time to panic.
The Jackets face a tough back to back later this weekend and it could have negative results. Their play has been degrading of late, as is normal for teams that keep winning, and now they will have to gather themselves, and re-assert how they played early in the season.
