The Blue Jackets sleepwalked their way to a 3-0 deficit tonight and never really seemed to care until it was too late. The New York Rangers absolutely dominated possession tonight, and if not for Elvis Merzlikins making some huge saves, would have been a blowout. It was yet another listless performance for the Jackets, and loss in their reverse retro jerseys.
The Blue Jackets did manage to get on the board and wake up midway through the third, but as usual it was too little too late. As they ran out of time to mount any type of real comeback.
