So far early in this young season the Columbus Blue Jackets are sitting at 4-4-0 and have looked like a great team with lots of potential at some points, and very shaky and unstable at other points.
In the first game of the season, the Jackets looked great jumping out to a quick lead against Detroit, but faltered hard towards the 3rd. They luckily won in overtime. But that game could’ve had a completely different feel if the Jackets had lost in overtime to the NHL’s worst current team in the Red Wings.
The Jackets second contest against Carolina showed what could happen if the Jackets don’t start out strong and play like how they have in most of the 2nd and 3rd periods so far this season.
