After getting goalie’d against the San Jose Sharks, could a well-rested Blue Jackets get back to their winning ways?
1st Period
A lot of skating early and not a lot of production for either side. The Jackets struggled to maintain possession through the neutral zone against the Kings structure, and the Kings struggled to connect in the o zone. Best early opportunity for the CBJ is a pass from Jiricek into the slot that ZAR couldn’t redirect on net. Kings got a PP opportunity after a Pyyhtia penalty nine minutes in but the PK prevailed without issue.
