I have good news and bad news. First, the bad: the Columbus Blue Jackets didn’t score 6 goals tonight, and they stopped alternating wins and losses. The good news? They won despite scoring just 2, and earned their first back-to-back victories of the season. They did it against the stingy New York Islanders.
It’s weird this was our first divisional opponent and it’s the last game of October, right?
First Period
It was a scoreless first period, but the Jackets controlled possession and had the best looks at goal. One was a breakaway chance by Yegor Chinakhov that was just barely kicked away by Semyon Varlamov.
