After the highs of the Stadium Series victory on March 1, the mood in Columbus has been understandably soured. The team has gone 2-7-1 in the 10 games since then, with just one regulation win, and their playoff odds per The Athletic’s projections have dropped from 55% on March 4 to 22% now. The Blue Jackets were four points clear of the playoff line and in the first wild card position on March 1, just four points behind New Jersey for third in the Metropolitan Division. Now, with just 12 games remaining, they are two points out of the playoffs with the Canadiens, Islanders, and Rangers to pass.
This season is already a success for the Columbus Blue Jackets
