Columbus Blue Jackets need patience with Fix-Wolansky

It didn't take long for the hot streak that brought Trey Fix-Wolansky back to the Blue Jackets to burn out. The rookie's scorching "heater" for the Cleveland Monsters in the American Hockey League hasn't made the NHL jump with him, but that doesn't mean patience won't pay off for Fix-Wolansky and the injury-riddled Blue Jackets, who still had eight…

The Avalanche are also sputtering at 4-4-1, but can blame their Stanley Cup hangover…
