Nationally televised games always seem to be the nights where nothing goes right for the Blue Jackets.
The pucks don’t bounce the way you think. Guys get hurt. Goals get called off. Guys play well enough to win, but the team still loses.
Tonight didn’t have a goal waved off, but otherwise...well.
The Rangers came in on a hot streak, winning five straight, while the Blue Jackets ground out a win against Detroit on Saturday and were looking to keep this homestand going with another win.
Antti Raanta started in net against Sergei Bobrovsky, while the Jackets also saw David Savard return to the lineup after missing time from his back issues, with the hope that he would strengthen the defense.
