After an entertaining first period for the Blue Jackets, the wheels came off in the second period en route to an 8-2 thrashing at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens. The tired legs in the back-end of a back-to-back caught up to them as they allowed a second period hat trick to Raphael Harvey-Pinard. It puts the Jackets back into the loss column after their brief two-game winning streak. In his first game back from his leave of absence, Elvis Merzlikins left in the second period due to injury. Hopefully it’s not too serious and Elvis can finish out the season, but it didn’t look promising.
