We slogged out of the starting gate and fell behind early before picking up the scent in the second period with a power-play goal by Michael Bunting to knot the score. Then we proceeded to snag a 3-1 third-period lead thanks to a pair of Rickard Rakell tallies.
A two-goal lead with less than 10 minutes to play. It’s in the bag, right?
WRONG.
The Blue Jackets’ Dmitri Voronkov scored his second of the night less than two minutes after Rakell put us up by two, at 12:05 to be exact, to pare our lead in half.
