Listen, it’s been a weird week. After an ugly loss to the Calgary Flames and an improbable but much-needed win over the New York Rangers, the Jackets really needed this W tonight before we keep it moving against the formidable Florida Panthers tomorrow.
First Period
This was where the magic of this game happened. Specifically the magic where the Blue Jackets broke a franchise record of the shortest time needed to score four goals - 13:14 minutes needed tonight, while the previous record was 14:10 against Anaheim in 2016.
Sorry, I got ahead of myself - of course, before the Jackets reached this milestone, they got scored on in the first two minutes by Nick Suzuki.
