175 years ago, thousands traveled west to California in search of fortune. This week, the Columbus Blue Jackets found only fool’s gold for their efforts, scoring just 5 goals in 3 games and earning a single standings point.
Despite some shuffling among the forward lines (Adam Fantilli up to left wing on the top line, Cole Sillinger back to center on the second line between Dmitri Voronkov and Yegor Chinakhov), the Jackets were unable to create enough quality chances against Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson, who was making his first appearance of the season following an emergency appendectomy in September.
