Greg Wyshynski, senior writer: There is a lot to like about the Blue Jackets as a contender. Such as the fact that Sergei Bobrovsky has given up more than two goals in just four of his past 17 starts. Or the fact that Columbus has found two effective defensive pairings in Seth Jones and Zach Werenski and in David Savard and Ian Cole, the latter of whom have been quite solid in their 14 games together since Cole joined the team at the trade deadline. Or the fact that the Blue Jackets are No.
Are the Columbus Blue Jackets a legitimate Stanley Cup contender this season?
