The Columbus Blue Jackets were certainly excited by the prospect of a Columbus native defying the odds and playing in the NHL at 18 years old. While it was certainly a fun turn of events at the time to have Cole Sillinger play for the team during the 2021-22 season, in the long run, it may have been a terrible mistake. Sillinger was the Blue…

Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers is back on the "Who's Hot?" list. He is joined by another returnee, Carolina Hurricanes' goalie Pyote Kochetkov. Kochetkov is a major reason Carolina hasn't suffered a regulation loss in December, while leapfrogging New Jersey into first place in the Metropolitan Division. Carolina (+900) has moved into third…

What lessons can the Columbus Blue Jackets learn from Buffalo Sabres' forward Tage Thompson? In order to answer that question, we need to go back in history and discuss one of the genuinely fascinating origin stories of the NHL. Thompson wasn't always seen as a can't-miss player who would become an NHL star. As a lanky teenager, he was a…

The Boston Bruins lead the NHL in goal differential in the third period, so when the team with the best home record in the league took a 2-0 advantage into the third period against Los Angeles on Thursday night, the Bruins picking up two more points seemed inevitable. However, a late 5-on-3 power play given to the Kings helped Los Angeles force…

As we approach the holiday season and end of the calendar year, it's time we take another look at the NHL Sour Rankings and rank the teams putting their worst foot forward in an attempt to secure the best odds at the first overall pick. Unless one of these teams has a 2019 St. Louis Blues-level turnaround, there is a good chance that one of them…

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers find themselves in dire straights heading into the 30th game of the season. Just six months removed from ending what was a historically dominant 2021-22 season, the Panthers are nearing bottom-10 territory.

ELMONT, N.Y. - The Blue Jackets were short seven regulars, including their top defense pairing, and five of them began the season in the American Hockey League. That's important to note after the Jackets stood toe-to-toe with the New York Islanders in a 4-3 overtime loss Saturday night at UBS Arena, where the patchwork Columbus group nearly pulled…

There's no way to sugarcoat it. The Blue Jackets are 3-7-0 after a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad start to this NHL season and there's a chance it gets even worse with back-to-back games Friday and Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche in Tampere, Finland. The Avalanche are also sputtering at 4-4-1, but can blame their Stanley Cup hangover…

Nick Blankenburg's celebration said it all. Six games into his NHL career, the rookie defenseman has steadily moved up the Blue Jackets' lineup, and in Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers he found himself running the top power-play unit midway through the third period. With the game tied 2-2, Blankenburg fired a wrist shot from the point that…

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers held a spirited practice at FLA Live Arena on Wednesday morning, a day after suffering a rare loss on home ice. The Panthers have only lost four games in Sunrise this season, so while they weren't feeling blue or anything like that, they certainly had a purpose in their work. "I don't think anyone is happy and I…

The St. Louis Blues will begin their season with a relatively favorable schedule in the month of October. They'll play multiple divisional opponents and a couple of teams expected to compete for the best odds in the 2023 Draft lottery. Either way, this schedule is not all that difficult and should allow for the Blues to get off to a good start. As…

COLUMBUS, Ohio - One day after his sophomore season at Michigan ended with a heartbreaking loss in the Frozen Four, forward Kent Johnson has signed an NHL entry-level contract with the Blue Jackets, sources have told The Athletic. Johnson, the No. 5 pick in last year's draft, began informing his Wolverines coaches and teammates of his decision late…

The Columbus Blue Jackets will send a talented team to the annual Traverse City Prospects Tournament again this year, highlighted by three recent first round picks.
