NHL Weekend Showdown: Will Canada’s Playoff Hopes Spark a Holiday Crisis?
The question coming into this year was whether there was a path to improvement. I wasn’t convinced there was, and 70 percent of our staff agreed, but I was hoping I’d be wrong. So far this year, the Blue Jackets are playing to a 93-point pace, which would have been enough last year but may not be this time. But they’ve got points in seven of their last eight, including a tough Saturday loss to the Red Wings that saw Columbus blow a two-goal lead they held midway through the third. They were technically holding down a playoff spot when that game ended (by points but not by percentage), but have since been bumped back out.
