The Columbus Blue Jackets scored a cathartic victory at home on Tuesday, but could they build on that performance in the next game? Challenges awaited: last night’s game was on the road, and against a Dallas Stars team that is better than the Detroit Red Wings. On the other hand, the Stars were dealing with injuries and entered the game with just one win in their previous 10 games.
First Period
The game started with the Blue Jackets dominating play and controlling possession. They recorded the first five shots on goal and seemed to spend most of the time with the puck.
