In this article we will be comparing individual Blue Jackets to others across the league through the first quarter of the season. To do this, we will compare players to those at the same position that have played at least 100 minutes at 5v5 this season. All stats will be at 5v5. For reference, there are 403 forwards, 221 defenseman, and 70 goalies that have played at least 100 minutes this season. We will pick and choose players from the top of each list and players at the bottom of each list from the Blue Jackets.
