The Columbus Blue Jackets are historically known as a physical, hard to play against team. The start of the season pushed them away from that however, and just recently they’ve been making strides to get back to that type of play.
Riley Nash‘s first career fight took place against Tony DeAngelo of the New York Rangers on Saturday night, while Josh Anderson had a heavyweight scrap against Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars on Monday.
While just a few years ago, that would’ve seemed like a fairly regular occurrence those were the first two fights the Blue Jackets were involved in this season.
