John Tortorella and Brandon Dubinsky's Reconciliation Lifting Blue Jackets

On Friday the Columbus Blue Jackets defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins by a 2-1 score. It was the 10th game the team played under John Tortorella, and the win moved the team back to .500 under its new head coach, with a respectable 5-5-0 record.

Brandon Dubinsky missed the game with an injury, his first absence since Tortorella took over behind the bench.

Although Dubinsky was out of the lineup for this victory, he’s been a vital figure in the Blue Jackets resurgence under Tortorella.
