On Tuesday night in Edmonton, things did not start out the way the Blue Jackets hoped. The Jackets controlled the pace of play, but each mistake made proved to be costly:
- Sergei Bobrovsky left the crease to play the puck behind his net and pass to Ryan Murray. Instead, the pass was picked off by Connor McDavid and passed to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to shoot at a wide open net. That’s McDavid’s league-leading 100th point of the season. Bob really needs to stop leaving the crease, because he’s just not very good at playing the puck away from the net.
