In the fifth preseason game - and the last of three consecutive gamedays this weekend - the Blue Jackets lost yet again, this time 5-1 to the St. Louis Blues. This follows a 7-3 defeat yesterday at Pittsburgh and a 3-0 loss on Friday to these Blues. The Blue Jackets are 1-4 in this preseason so far, with three games remaining.
Unlike Friday’s game against the Blues, when few CBJ regulars made the trip, today’s lineup featured mostly players who are expected to play this season or who are in competing for the few open spots available.
