The Blue Jackets have been riding a wave recently, winning five of their last six games, shutting out their opposition in two of them, and scoring on 12.4% of their shots over that span.
Their top unit of Artemi Panarin, Pierre-Luc Dubois, and Cam Atkinson warrants significant attention; the line been heavily relied on by John Tortorella this year, with the trio often breaking the 20-minute mark in games as one of seven lines league-wide to have surpassed the 350 minutes together at 5v5 already in 2018-19. In those minutes, they’ve controlled over 55% of unblocked shot attempts and expected goals.
