With a positive start in the 1st period the Blue Jackets still came up short last night. Jackets center Ryan Johansen put the Jackets up on the board with 5 minutes left in the 1st period. The Blues would then set the tone for the rest of the game.
The Blues came alive during the 2nd period. They were able to limit the Jackets’ shots on goal while maximizing their opportunities on the power play. It was only 2:09 into the 2nd when Vladimir Tarasenko scored the power play goal for the Blues. Blues’ winger Scottie Upshall would follow up in the 3rd period to give them the lead.
