It was a rough start in the opening series, with two third period collapses. After that, however, the Blue Jackets put together a seven game point streak. This season’s schedule features two-game series between opponents, and it felt like the Jackets improved in the second leg of each series.
There seemed to be a cloud hanging over the team with the lingering trade request of Pierre-Luc Dubois.
