For a team second-worst in the league in goals allowed per game, not a lot of bright spots to find halfway through the year.
The Columbus Blue Jackets, now 43 games into their season as we have arrived here at the All Star Break, sit firmly in 5th place in the Metropolitan Division with 41 points. That they are not lower in the standings speaks only to how catastrophic the seasons of the New York Islanders, Philadelphia Flyers, and New Jersey Devils have gone thus far.
