It wasn't the Blue Jackets' nail-biting 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesar's Arena that did it as much as…

Watching the World Juniors led every person who follows hockey to the same conclusion: Drafting Connor Bedard will be franchise-altering. With the season nearly half over, teams far outside the playoff picture may start experimenting with their lineups in ways that might make them less competitive in the near term. Give young players an outsized…

In an 82-game season, finding different sources of motivation are critical. For the Boston Bruins, it's the desire for an easier first-round playoff opponent. Slip into second in the Atlantic Division and Boston will face the Toronto Maple Leafs or Tampa Bay Lightning. Either would be a miserable first-round opponent. For the New Jersey Devils,…

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…

SUNRISE - The Florida Panthers find themselves in dire straights heading into the 30th game of the season.

Columbus certainly should be comfortable on home ice as the seven road games played by the Blue Jackets are the fewest in the league. However, they are 0-2-1 in the last three games at home. The hope for Columbus is that momentum off a win in Winnipeg will carry over into this game. Five of the last six games between the teams had at least seven…

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…

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…
