Contender Week 2019 was a smashing success for the Columbus Blue Jackets. The team rallied after a miserable start to the week where they lost 4-0 to the Lightning and lost their top goaltender to win their next three straight.
Two of those three wins came against Metro Division opponents which helped them climb from second to third in the division standings as the Metro heats up. Although the Metro was mocked at the beginning of the season for it’s lack of quality, it has emerged as a top flight division with an intense fight for the top three spots.
