Game 42 Recap: Blue Jackets blast off season’s second half with Laine hat trick, then survive third period scare, win 4-3

Well. This is it. Your Columbus Blue Jackets are the worst team in the National Hockey League. Playing the Red Wings, five points out of the Wild Card with everything to play for.

First Period

So... uh... yeah.

I don’t really know what happened here, but the Blue Jackets came out tonight like their hair was on fire. They quickly got up 5-2 in shots, borderline dominated the Red Wings, and after killing a penalty around the midpoint of the frame, starting pouring it on.
